[QUOTE="4ked Horn, post: 55265, member: 11"] The above questions are fairly common. take some time playing with the search option on this site to find some answers. .308 win is a great round that can be shot quite comfortably most of the day from a heavy (10lb and up) gun. My .308 will let me shoot center crosshairs out ot almost exactly 1100 yards. Keep in mind that I have $200 custom tapered base and integral rings that gives me more useable adjustment out of my scope but keeping the ability to 0 at 100 yards. Without this base I was topping out at about 850 (if I remember right). I would not shoot at a deer at 1100yds but I would a coyote because of the energy loss at this range. If you are shooting paper or steel, the .308 win is a real fun gun as far as you want to push it. My gun is factory stock, action and barrel. Oh, trigger group too. I have a bead blast matte finish on the bbl and action, a custom scope base and a scope that I bought new cheaper than most people can buy it used. I had my action glass bedded by a fair gunsmith and all the other nuances were done by me so they were free. Gun $550 Scope $475 Base $200+ Bead blast and re-blue $50 Glass bedding $50 Estimated total $1325 + hours of tweaking and tuning. [/QUOTE]
