Slightly different - guys with land, where are you buying steel targets?

buddy owns a farm thats pretty large, we'll shoot cans and shit on his property at 25-50 yards but its never been much more structured than that, been itching to break my AR10 out some more though since there really arent any decent distance ranges here, and hes got a good 500yds of safely shootable, open terrain. Asked if hed mind if i bought some steel targets to set up and he said go for it.

So. What's worth buying? Largest caliber shot is 168gr 308 out of a 20", big stockpile of Speer LE Gold's/Soft Tips, so my understanding is any 3/8 inch AR500 steel target should catch that just fine, maybe respray it with paint on occasion.

If say I wanted to put up a target per 100 yds, stuff i shouldnt need to manually walk out and set back up, and try to keep the cost as low as reasonable, whats the consensus?

Picked up a 6 inch gong target from Rural King and it seems to work great, but that was $45 with stand. I'm seeing popper/springer targets on amazon for roughly the same price, with some wild fluctuations. LGS's online shop shows Springer targets for $23, eternally sold out.

So what am I looking for brand wise?
