[QUOTE="Tyler Kemp, post: 174845, member: 6290"] I'm leaning towards 30 caliber because I can reduce loads with the 300 RUM and use cheap bullets. With .338 there isn't as many choices for cheaper bullets I can practice out to 100 yards with. I don't feel comfortable taking what you guys consider long range shots on game yet, but I did get a doe at 285 this year with my 45-70. For that gun I consider 285 yards long range. With a 300 RUM I think I would feel confident out to 500 yards with a rangefinder easy. Will a Burris Signature Select 8-32x hold up on the 300? I plan on using this scope with the Savage action, and just swap barrels from 6mm Ackley for silhouette and varmints along with some long range practice, to 300 RUM for more practice and larger game. I am trading huntinfool18 for this scope, I should be getting it pretty soon. [/QUOTE]
