Not the easiest way to learn, but its not impossible. Get that good scope, with a reticle that will best serve your needs, figure out if you want MOA, or MRAD, a 1st or 2nd focal plane etched reticle and if you want one with hold overs or something thats easy to adjust on the fly (target turrets?) And a spotting scope with someone that can tell you if your hitting high low left right etc, and a good rest or a bag. And ammo selection is gonna be important the further out you get as well Lots of videos on YouTube for more details on all of this
YES, technically speaking this rifle is more oriented for hunting and the barrel is on the thin side. Thin/slim barrel will heat up faster so your grouping will widen up really fast with repeated shots. But it will do fine for 600 to 1000 yards shooting. Take a look at Primary arms or Swampfox for great quality and budget optics.... and you will have a great intro long range gun, I hope this helps!
Gabriel, yes. most .308 chambered rifles are sufficient as the .308 is an inherently accurate cartridge. A good scope, practice of basics will get you there at these distances. I have personally seen high end setups with mediocre shooters do worse than modest setups with skilled shooters. MOS B-4. Cheers and stay safe!
