[QUOTE="tweek1142, post: 1690879, member: 57083"] Married two kids, wife teacher I’m an operations manager. Been doing the long range thing for 10 years. Started with a stock Remington 700 in 300 WSM with simple upgrades I did myself like bedding the action. I wasted a lot of money when i started. Now I have a 7mm Practical with a Kreiger 30” heavy contour 9 twist. Shooting 180 eldm at 3050 with ES of 8 FPS. Sightron Siii 8-32. My advice is instead of having a lot of guns have one for each purpose. This way they get used and you don’t have money sitting in a gun cabinet; wishing u had money to spend on a nice scope, stock or action. I live in PA and a 180 at 3050 FPSworks on everything from woodchucks to whitetail out to 1400+ yards. Could I push it faster yup, but I’m content with where it’s at. I’ve taken chucks out past 1100 yards and Im extremely confident in the rifle. If I lived out west I’d save and buy a Canyon Rifle by Shawn Carlock in 338 edge+p. I have a friend with one and it’s an awesome piece. [/QUOTE]
