Long hours at work = money for new toys...
Want some suggestions on a lightweight, long range (800m) hunting set up for chasing anything from tahr through to sambar and potentially north american game in the future...
Sub MOA, light, sexy, and suitable for these hunts is what i’m looking for, havnt really considered price just yet, suggestions will probably shape that decision.
Cheers lads
My first inclination was to suggest that you go to a custom build if you have a good idea of what you want.
BUT having put up the question on the forum I suspect you don't.
Your conundrum probably can't be answered with a simple response and invites the following comments and questions.
Reliable accuracy at 800 meters, sufficient to hit the vital zones of a thar, is unlikely to be obtained from any lightweight factory rifle no matter how sexy it may be.
Have you ever shot at a true 800 meters?
Have you ever shot at a true 800 meters from a field position without the benefit of prior sighting shots?
Are you able to practice regularly at 800 meters to develop proficiency?
There are many other questions that may be asked not to embarrass you but to help you clarify your thinking and prioritise those features you really want.
If you want to discuss further then PM me.
Don't worry, I don't have anything to sell and I do hope you realize your ambition.
