I bought a Remington 700 XCR in .270 Winchester (and a Bushnell 4200 Elite 3-9x50 scope) a few weeks ago and took it to the range today for the first time. Holy fun, Batman. I'd shot a few rounds from an old .22 with iron sights when I was a kid, but otherwise this was my first time firing a rifle. The range master was really nice and gave me some help getting the scope sighted in for 100 yards. In my first five or six shots, I put two, consecutive rounds through the same hole. The range master must have been over sixty, but he gave me a fist bump. It was way cool I'm hoping to spend an hour or two at the range every other week, or so. This could become my favorite hobby very quickly.
Now I have to figure out a place to clean the rifle (my wife would kill me if I did it in the kitchen, and I'm not sure I want to clean it in plain view on my balcony), and buy a spotting scope.
