[QUOTE="Darryl Cassel, post: 53462, member: 34"] [b]Re: I\'m So New I\'m Shiny![/b] Welcome aboard Bigredd. Try to get the accuracy to a better range then 3MOA and the rifle will reach and kill further then the 400 yards you mentioned. Many 300 Win mags with 26" barrels (Remington Sendaro's for instance) will kill at 1000 yards very nicely. Try for 1 MOA (Minimum) at ranges to 1000 yards. 1 MOA at 1000 yards is 10" Obviously, the closer you hunt an animal the MOA does not have to be as good. There are many rifles that short range hunters carry that shoot about 6" at 100 yards. For them the accuracy does not have to be very good because the shots are usually not any further then 100 yards max. For the LR hunter the rifle that puts 5 shots into a small cloverleaf or one hole group at 100 yards is desireable to start out with. Most of our big custom guns are capable of this accuracy. Trigger time and load development is a must for any rifle you intend to use. Later DC [ 07-01-2003: Message edited by: Darryl Cassel ] [/QUOTE]
