[QUOTE="T3ninja, post: 1336410, member: 95079"] Ok here we go. Point me at a caliber I may have overlooked for a long range rifle. It will be a plinking rifle, that I use for coyote, deer, and steel. Longest I'd be shooting a deer would be 600 yds at max. Around here a big bodied buck might weigh 220 lbs.. Coyotes maybe a tad farther. Steel, I'd like a rifle/caliber capable of making it ring at a mile. I know a mile is a stretch, and I most likely won't do it but once or twice a year, but I'd like the ability to do it When given the opportunity. So, now on to the build.. I'd like it to be .30 or smaller, accurate barrel life of 2500-3k rounds, 11-12lbs with optic, caliber capable of these distances using "common" components (Berger, Sierra,hornady,). Is there a caliber that will do all of these? Cost is always a consideration, but I'm trying to learn a little, so let me hear all your ideas !! [/QUOTE]
