Just ordered a new Ruger American in 17 HMR. Thinking the best I'll be able to pull off on my property is about 250' or so. Will have to shoot across the back yard at an angle to get that far. I'll be using a bench with sand bags. Would like to hit quarter size targets at that distance. Starting at the lower end of the price range, what should I be looking for?
I have a Simmons 3-9x40 on another rifle that I'll put on it for now.
