[QUOTE="aushunter1, post: 1492115, member: 57533"] I agree on the barrel weight! Why would you want such a long range rifle in a light barrel when you will mostly be shooting supported? I just bought a Rem 700 SFV just for a hunting rifle & think its pretty good for the coin, spent $80 on a smith to work the trigger & with handloads its shooting 1/2 moa. Also the longer the barrel the better, 26' would be my minimum. If I wanted a LD rifle I would have gone up to the Sendero. Agree with the 20moa base, I put a Mark 4 on mine & then put a Leupold LRP on top with PRW rings. That scope may be over your budget though but not sure of prices over there? I also own an older T3 stainless varmint in .260rem in a KRG stock & it also shoots 1/2moa with Bergers, nice set up for LD & shoots well out to 1km but runs out of scope adjustment after that & drops into subsonic so yeh if you want to shoot longer the 300w or Rum will be the go. Whatever you get I would also suggest a break, you will need it! Good luck. [/QUOTE]
