Some good info so far. Thanks!

With regard to purpose, I'd say recreational shooting with the possibility to hunt (deer etc) in the future. Slowly shaking off my northerner ways....

My eyesight is not bad, but not perfect as I get closer and closer to the big 40. The budget is not a problem really. I'm happy to save up if I need to. I don't really see a need to have a million dollar gun when I'm more like a five dollar shooter, but I'm all in favor of buying quality stuff if it's within my reach. Rather buy quality once than buy crap stuff over and over.

So, I started out shooting just a few years ago with pistols, then got an AR-15 and learned on iron sights at (relatively) short ranges. Lots of fun there. No, I don't get to the range as often as I should, and I really miss the one shooting buddy that I had at the start. That being said, it's really exceeded all my expectations in both fun and practical ways.

So, now I'm starting to think about longer range shooting (200yrd+), scopes etc.. and I was wondering how you guys started out learning longer range shooting. Or, how you would suggest a newbie like myself start out.

Thanks!
