Hello, I have been shooting pistols for five years. Last year I bought an ar-15 and tricked it out and have really enjoyed rifle shooting. I just picked up a savage model 12 lrp 6.5 Creedmoor and a Nightforce precision bench rest 12x42x56 and a Harris bipod. I got this to shoot the groundhog competition thru spring-summer and hopefully to shoot steel at 1000 yards. I am still waiting on the base mount and rings which should arrive after Christmas. I have wanted to shoot long range for two years and now finally have the proper gear.
