[QUOTE="GibsonKuenzi, post: 742323, member: 61239"] First post here, ive been doing a lot of reading and i love the site! Im a Deer and Elk hunter in the Northwest and im trying to do a 600 yard gun on a budget until i have the money to upgrade to what I want for the future. Currently I have a tikka T3 in a .270 Win with a leupold Vx3 3.5-10x40. Im looking for opinions on how to best set this gun up for under 600 Yard shots on deer, elk and black bear. Currently i do not reload so i want to get into reloading for this caliber right now, and expand to other calibers later. My questions are what bullet would you recommend for a .270 win if im reloading? What are the best/most cost effective modifications i can do to my tikka to increase its accuracy? Is it stupid to try this with a .270 win or would it be better to build it to a .270 weatherby mag or completely different caliber? Finally, Can my Leupold VX-3 be upgraded for LR hunting or would i be better off buying a completely different scope? Thanks a lot for the help in advance and once again i realize that this is not the "Ideal" Gun for 600 yard shots on deer/elk/black bear, but until i can afford to upgrade and do it right, i would like to use this gun.
