I decided on a Weatherby Vanguard weathershild in 6.5. 24"barrel, #3 contour i believe. Weighs 7.75 lbs naked. Putting on a Vortex HS LR 4-16x50 and will be shooting Hornady Superformance SST 129gr. For hunting deer. I hope it will do well for a somewhat budget friendly set up.

I will look at the Weatherby also. I am also still considering tbe Ruger. For me this will be a midwest deer rifle and,a e ery so often out West rifle for Pronghorn, deer or Mule deer. Shooting 100 to 600 yds max most likely. I just like to have a rifle that i know is capable of shooting out...

Earlier this year i had my first LR rifle built based on suggestions and help from this forum. It is a great 300 WM all decked out but did come in a little on heavy side. Still 2 trips tbis fall and a Muley and a Pronghorn down!! Now I need more of a mid range/semi long range gun that is...

Thank you for the info. I am familiar with Tikka and Howa. The T3x with the adjustable stock would work well. I wonder when the new T3x will be for sale? Not on market yet. Thanks

I have a custom 300 WM that I love and have shoot to 1,100 yds. I now want a "high end production" or "semi custom" rifle with a little less kick that would also work for deer hunting and target shooting. Thinking of getting a Montana Rifle Company Extreme X2 in 6.5 Creedmore. Either get the...

Class booked at Bangsteel for this summer. Thanks for the info everyone!gun)

All info about locations and class derails are at Bangsteel.com Town is in far western tip of Virginia. Class is a little classroom and plenty of time on range. I'm going to do a private class or if no one is interested jump in a May or June Group class. Anyone interested?

I am looking to book at private LR shooting class. The dates of June 7-8 are open and work for me. Private class gets you more one on one time with instructor I think but cost a little more. Looking for 1 other shooter to join in. Cost is only $480. More info at Bangsteel.com Email me if...

Great info on this forum. Question for you guys. Can anymore recommend a instructor or school for long range shooting instruction (out to 700-1000 yds). Prefer something within driving distance or direct flight from Indy. Looking for a 2 or 3 day school for beginner/intermediate skill level...

That's why I posted the info. Wanted some feedback. I will look into Axion receiver for sure. Barrel is 26" and the REM Varmit/Sendaro countour so I thought it was fluted, will double check. Website says it weighs 4.65 lbs. I was going to go with a Veis muzzle break but did not want the...

After some research and opinions from this forum I have decided on what I am getting for my first (but not last) long range hunting rifle. Goal was nice, quality rifle that can kill out to 750 yards and be used for Pronghorn to Elk and anything in between. Also, I decided to use someone...

Thanks! Decision finalized and rifle on order. Going to post a new thread about my decision. Looking forward to it. gun)

Thanks a lot guys! Your input helped. I think i have decided to have someone local build the rifle for me. He is within a hour away and is experienced with a legit business going. He normally starts with a REM 700 long action receiver. I am going to talk to him more but any...

I am seriously looking for a great beginner LR rifle. I found MPR when looking for Montana Rifle Co. After two long conversation with the owner all sees very legit but was hoping to come across someone who has dealt with with or knows more. Opened up last May so not really any good info...

Hello Gang, Need a little help. Looking for a great entry to mid level LR rifle. Was waiting to get a Legendary Arms Works but they just don't seem to exist. I found Montana Precision Rifles (different than Montana Rifle Co.) and really like the MPR 700 package with a Vortex HS LR scope...
