My current one is a Savage 110 tactical in a 6 Creedmore. Ranges have varied out to 1150 yards. 95% of my shooting has been with a .22 rimfire out to 500 yards. Hopefully there will be more opportunities in Il with an increased interest in this sport.

When I was 15 years old there was a ground hog I never could get closer than 200 years to.So I stepped off 200 yards,and put a target on a cardboard box. Then I zeroed in at that range. The next day I put his lights out.
Was that long range shooting? For a 15 year old with a 22? You bet.
Then years later I took up silhouette shooting.Offhand at 200 to 500 meters.
That was long range at the time. Then I started shooting 1000 yards. I won the first match I shot in. At Paul Bunyan rifle range in puallup Washington. Now I have a 50BMG benchrest rifle and trying to learn something about 1 to 2 miles. That’s the latest project. So I suppose I’m just a long range junkie, but I have no complaints. Its been the best time I have ever had.
