[QUOTE="Guest, post: 9804"] I'm not one to get into a ****ing contest but I think that the term "hunting rifle" covers a huge area , I know a few guys that have full out bench guns , polished steel and hot pink stocks and all and they call them "hunting rifles". Now to realy kick a bees nest I have a rig that is less than $900 total scope and all that would take deer cleanly out to 1K , yea its a Savage !! and wears a B&L scope to boot! Do you need a $3000 rig to shoot 1K , hell no , the chances of getting one of doing it consistantly are a hell of alot better if you pay for all the good stuff but it can be done for less. Personaly I feel that as long as you can get a rig that shoots at least 3/4moa and has the energy , you can kill at 1000yds. Hell I've got a soda straw barreled 1961 Weatherby Mark V in 300Wby that shoots near 1/2MOA with factroy weatherby ammo , I'm sure if you replaced the old Balvar scope with some bigger better glass that it'll kill easly at 1K , for at least 2 shots and the barrel gets hot. What it all boils down to is the man asked a simple question about calibers "best deer caliber out to 1K" , not what rifle , what smith to build it but what caliber.. So why all the mines better than yours and you payed to much BS? [/QUOTE]
