I'll be attending the Nov 6-8 Long Range 1 3 day 50BMG caliber rifle training course sponsored by Barrett Rifles in Raton, New Mexico with my Barrett model 99.

I've ordered the Leupold 4.5-14x50mm w/ mil-dot scope which is recommended by Barrett to be sighted for 300 yrds when you arrive to shoot. This scope is shown here:

Course topics include:

* 3 Day Course (24 hours)
* Barrett Rifles Familiarization
* Cleaning and Maintenance
* Rifle Set Up
* Marksmanship Fundamentals
* Intro to Data Collection
* Basic External Ballistics
* Intro to Wind
* Live Fire on 1000 Yard Known Distance Range

Wow...very nice. I just saw a show on TV about Barrett. They showed the manufacturing facility{ top notch BTW}, and the people behind that impressive weapon. Would like to hear your thoughts and comments in firing the Barrett, and have you had experiences shooting long range. I know that todays rifle scopes can help acquire the target, but there is alot more involved, such as wind speed and temp for starters.
