Time for a second rifle.
That's the good news about this hobby. You can dedicate a rifle for HD (and I would - & I have), and train at the range accordingly with it. You can ALSO build another rifle for your distance practice, and with the affordability of rifles & gear these days, not break the piggybank. 'Gently used' equipment off of "for sale" pages on this & other boards make it even more affordable.
If not, and HD is your primary concern, than build that first. Pinch your pennies, save up, and build the long-range rifle later. Neither the parts, the scope, OR the range are going away, either...
