For 200 yards and under I use a .223 15" Encore pistol,and when I want to "reach-out",I have 2 different calibers I shoot. First is a 25-06 and my super long-range gun is a Savage 116 in the 7mm-08 with a 24X Leupold Mil-Dot target scope,I also put a Jewell Trigger in it that is set to around 4 to 6oz...
