[QUOTE="midwesthunter, post: 500846, member: 10792"] First question that is going to arise is what do you plan on hunting at those distances? Also you will need to put quality glass on top of it. Don't skimp on the scope. I personaly would go with a 28-30 barrel. Leaning towards the 30". Trigger and stock are things you can upgrade as you go. Here are the 3 calibers I would consider in order. 338 Rum or Edge, 7mm STW or Rum, then the 300 RUM. Here are some ballistics to think about with 10 mph wind 338 - 300SMK 2850 fps at 1000yd 1778fps 2107KE 24.8MOA and 4.72MOA 7mm - 180VLD 3000fps at a 1000yd 1738fps 1207KE 23.6MOA and 5.31MOA 300 - 210VLD 3000fps at a 1000yd 1665fps 1293KE 24.5MOA and 5.8MOA [/QUOTE]
