And you're right, it's cheap compare to playing with cars.

I shoot my .223 AR the same way I use the bolt gun ---- precision (hitting steel) at long distances. It's a nice custom built piece with Seekins Billet upper and lower - Noveske barrel - Geissele trigger (Super Dynamic 3 gun) - and great piece of glass (NightForce 4 X 16 ATACR).... and I start shooting it at the 525 Yard mark - and go out to 800 -- and can reach the 1050 - but that becomes a waste of ammo with about 2 out of 10... I use a Federal Sierra GoldMedal Match 77 grain in that. Too windy here for the lighter 62's.
Because of the distances we have set up -- there's a bunch of people here that are really into it -- and there is an instructor here that actually trains Snipers in "high altitude - high angle" LRP techniques. Apparently the terrain is similar to Afghanistan etc == so the military sends guys here in groups and a buddy trains them. He's helped me a LOT when we're just down there hanging out.
