Remington’s Premier Long Range ammo features technologically advanced Speer Impact bullets, developed specifically for this ammo and is designed to have a high ballistic coefficient and engineered to handle a very wide range of impact velocities.

The Leupold RX-1400i TBR/W Gen 2 rangefinder is a lightweight powerhouse for the hunter.
