[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 1014058, member: 9172"] The FIRST thing I would do is buy/build a 6-47L. a 243/6mm remchester, hell, a 6BR for that matter, and learn to load shoot that combo first. Something cheap and FUN to shoot/ load for that won't kick the snot out of you. Simpy wanting to shoot 1000-1200 yards is no where close to good enough. Simply having the correct gun platform is no where near good enough!! Or any combo of the two. You need practical shooting experiance......at distance. The big game you are after deserve it. And I PROMIS...GARANTEE....that you will have a BLAST doing it. It is more fun that the actual hunting. It will not seem like work the first time you bang that steel/bust that rock at X,XXX yards!!!! There are not enough :D :D :D on the page that will represent how you will feel!!! That is the FIRST thing that I would do. Now as far as the platform/caliber to hunt with. Most here would agree that a little extra weight is a good thing. I am not a big fan of the Vangard. And for that matter, ANY factory rifle. Not at four digit distances at game. A semi-custom Rem LA or Clone in 300 WBY or 338 EDGE in a good solid stock would be a good starting point. Why rem? Because every gunsmith on the planet works on them and builds off of them. You can change/upgrade any component with aftermarket parts if needed, and they are strong and reliable. Also, I would watch the classifieds here and over at Accurate shooter for used guns and gun parts like stocks, actions, bbls, ect.... I would absolutly trust the folks at BOTH websights to steer you in the right direction, and you will save some time and money. And also, as stated in some of the above posts.....portable weather stations and balistic apps are a must for sucess. The kestral 3500/4500 and the shooter app for your smart phone are the two that come to mind. As always, this is simply my .02. Tod [/QUOTE]
