[QUOTE="burns5539, post: 831421, member: 70066"] All, Based on reading threads on this site and many others, I convinced myself that I needed a rig that was more suitable for shooting long range. After a lot of research, I settled on a 6.5x284. Donor = Remington 270 Win M700 SPS. Barrel = Krieger, 1 in 8" twist, 26" finished length, remington sendero contour Stock = HS Precision (PST087 - Tan Web) Trigger = Jewell, 1-1/2 oz to 3 lb (HVRTSBR-A) Scope = Vortex PST 6-24x50 FFP (Vortex #: PST-624F1-A) Base = Picatinny Style, Leupold, 15 MOA (Leupold #: 65970) Rings = 30mm Medium Burris Tactical (Burris #: 420162) Muzzle Break / Supressor = YHM Titanium .30 Cal. Q.D. Phantom (still waiting for the form 4 to clear for the supressor) I will be using Redding competition dies, lapua brass, 140 Gr. VLD Hunting Bergers, CCI BR2 primers, and hopefully either H4350 or 4831SC. I should get away from the house this next week to do barrel break in. I will be using this gun primarily for predator / varmint hunting in Idaho as well as a pronghorn hunt this September. I am new to the long range game stuff but it should be a fun experience. I thought I would share this with you guys since you had an unknowing role in the decisions for the various components I selected. Thanks, Ryan [/QUOTE]
