[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 479947, member: 24624"] Adam - That, along with the others that have been suggested, should work fine. One thing I would definitely keep in mind is that a heavier barrel than your average sporter will typically give you better stability for long range and will allow you to shoot longer, more consistent strings without a bunch of cooling time. As to the latter comment, weight is one factor and stress relief is the other. But my point is that a hunting rifle that shoots a decent 3 shot group is fine in a hunting situation while a rifle with a good barrel that allows you to shoot a 20 shot string without any significant cooling is a huge advantage for long range practice. I am also a fan of muzzle brakes as I feel it allows me to practice more with less chance of developing soreness and/or a flinch. If you can consistently shoot MOA with good ammo, you should be able to hunt at increasing distances. Otherwise, it all comes down to personal preference. Happy hunting! Richard [/QUOTE]
