Who shoots long range?

Previous owner was ringing steel at 1100 and hitting 8" bullseye on a regular basis. Gun on my learning to shoot it was sub MOA for me and probable 1/4 MOA from guy I got it from. He can shoot and made me feel like a real beginner. I do have a $300 Ruger Am Predator in 308 (including scope) that was good to 550 yards. Farthest that I have shot so far. Of course, I did have an expert behind me giving me dopes.

Well, only “long range” if 400yds or so is long range! .300 Blackout built by Accurate Ordnance on a Remington Model Seven action. Nightforce NXS Compact 3.5-10x32mm. With 220grn subs and a 100yd zero, she’s got 176” (44MOA) at 400yds. #rainbow

JP Enterprises LRP-07 .308. Nightforce ATACR F1 4-16x42mm. This is the gun that changed my mind on how accurate a semi-auto can be. First day on the range with her, still breaking the barrel in, 7 rounds of M118LR into sub-.5MOA.

River Bend Gun Club hosts a monthly 600yrd Prone match. Open to the public.
Each shooter will fire 3 strings of unlimited sighters and 20 shots for record in a 25 minute block.
There are about 7 divisions so your rifle will fall into one of them.
Some divisions allow bipods and sandbags.
One main rule is no Muzzle Brakes due to other shooters next to you. Flash Suppressors are ok.
Usually the second Saturday of each month.
This Match is technically a NRA Mid-Range Match.

Here's a good video of how a match is run.
