[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 924764, member: 61747"] Well, LR shooting is going to require a lot more than just a barrel if you plan to do anything serious with it. Scope, range finder, ballistics program, wind meter....accurate rifle with high BC bullets. Factory loads? It is possible you will get a rifle that shoots factory ammo well enough to shoot LR but who knows. If that is your only option then stick with a caliber and cartridge you get consistent ammo for. 308, 7mm-08, creed, 260, 7mmMag, 3006, 270, 300 WM. If you go mag go 7mm or 300 for available ammo. Hopefully the rifle will shoot 1 moa or less for you. If not, you are wasting your time trying to shoot LR in my opinion. You might want to just shoot your 270, if it shoots well now, and get all the other required stuff for LR shooting first. Just a thought. [/QUOTE]
