[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 256279, member: 1007"] 1st off, welcome! 2nd, dont listen to the guys who say "good luck kid". They are just too lazy to get out and do something amazing. 3rd, for a beginner the calibers you listed work great for 1,000 yard paper punching. I personally love the 308 for 1K paper targets. It is an exceptionaly accurate round that isnt finicky or unforgiving at all. I have tons of experiance with the 700 308 5-R model. It is my favorite rifle I have ever owned. I put a McMillan stock (HTG) on it shortly after I bought it. I have never needed to get a custom 308 because I dont believe I could improve what I have. It is by far the most accurate rifle I have owned or shot for that matter. Shooting 10" groups at 1K is not much of a challenge for the 308 provided the wind isnt too bad. Most of the 1K groups I have shot at 1K (not counting horrible wind days) have been well under the 10" mark and many have been around the 5" mark with a few going less.
