I have had trouble with my 700 300Rum is not working out and I just don't have the time to set up the gun my self. I'm not sure if it would be easier to just get one of those precision rifles form one of the sponsored gun works I would like to spend under 4k. Do any of you have one of these sys? I want a big cal. for elk out to 1k. Please let me know what you think.

I have read some good review's for the .308 as a starter's caliber, most of our shot's will be 500-600 yds across sage brush flat's. So any comment's would be helpful. ]]> The Basics, Starting Out COhntr http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f26/savage-10-fp-remington-ltr-48951/ http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f26/lefthand-ar-30-a-48946/ Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:09:24 GMT I'm a lefty and looking for a .338Lapua mag. The best would be a AR-30 because of the price. Custom are to expensive on this project. Someone got any different suggestions? Lefthand rifle cal.338Lapua mag. i prefer its not a singleshot.

I have been in contact with Armalite, and they have no plans for a lefthand AR-30...?
Because it's not much demand for them??? Is it just me, that wants a lefthand AR-30?

Lefthand people, please send Armalite an email on: Sales@armalite.com
Armalite needs a minmum of 100 rifles to recover set-up costs on this... Please join me on this.

I know little to nothing about a lot of the topics so forgive me if I end up asking any seemingly stupid questions. I've been reading different stuff here and there and have a few questions to start with.

#1 - I've been reading about needing good rings and bases. What are some good brands of rings and bases and what should a person expect to pay for them? What makes some of the rings and bases so much better than or why are standard leupold rings and bases most hunters use not very good?

#2 - I haven't seen many if any mention of any ruger rifles in my reading. Is there a reason for that? Are they not a good starting point or a good rifle to build a long range shooter out of?

#3 - I've read on the site that the first thing to really do to improve accuracy is to take the gun to a gunsmith and have the following done: action bedded, trigger adjusted, recoil lugs lapped, barrel floated, and completely cleaned. How much should I expect to have each and all of these done at a quality gunsmith?

Also, my starting point will be with a Ruger Mk II 300 Win Mag stainless w/ a Bell & Carlson Camo Stock using a Leupold VX-3 6.5-20x40 LR Scope. Thanks for any and all help and suggestions! ]]> The Basics, Starting Out drenner43 http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f26/beginner-here-several-questions-48934/
