First off I want to elaborate how novice I am about shooting/hunting at long distances. I would estimate that 80% of the days I hunt are with a bow, 15% are with a shotgun, and 5% are with a rifle. When I rifle hunt in Pennsylvania most of the shots are sub 100 yards. However, I want start getting more into long rang hunting/shooting with a rifle.
I wanted to set up an all-around long-range hunting rifle for big game. I was telling my father-in-law I want a 300 WM with a stainless steel barrel and synthetic stock. He walked me to the basement, opened the gun safe, and handed me Ruger M77 Mark II with everything I wanted and said “It’s all yours”.
I want to set up the gun to shoot at least 600 yards. The barrel does not have a muzzle break but I really want to get one put on. My buddy was convincing me to install a better trigger. I am leaning towards a Huskemaw scope, I want a scope where I can just range the animal and dial the scope into the specific range. Any suggestions on how to make this rifle a long range shooting machine would be greatly appreciated!!
