[Shooter 2.5]

Sorry, I noticed you want something for 800 meters. You’re looking for the 7.62 X 51[.308] caliber. Go to the link and see Armalite’s AR-10. There’s also Springfield Armory’s M1A but that needs a lot of care and maintenance.
For someone who is new at this, you might be better getting a good decent hunting rifle with a heavy barrel such as a Remington 700 in .308. You will spend as much on the scope as the rifle if not more.

You won’t be able to hit anything with a Mini30 beyond 400 yards. The design doesn’t allow it.

With all due respect Shooter I would prefer something other than a Rem700. That is the only gun I have ever cut up and thrown in the lake. Absolutely hate the things.

fr_freak go to a gun shop and try both the 700 and a Browning A-bolt see which one you like best (fits you best).
