[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 684881, member: 30902"] Buddy don't feel bad but there's lots of ways to "get there on a budget". My first recommendation would be to start saving and frequently visit the classified section here and over at Sniper's Hide. You will find some very, and I do me very good deals on quality ugraded factory rigs as well as on the occasional full custom. Going off of what you say above I'd say the 7mm Mag is a good choice but so too would be the 300wm and 300wsm with a lean towards the 300wm. There's really nothing in N. America the 300wm will not handle with authority out to about 800yds with the exception of the big grizzlies/Kodiac bears. Even on the latter you'd have plenty of gun to get to 600yds with them. Start out with something like a nice 700bdl or M-70 in one of those calibers and as you build experience and expertise and start stretching it out you can always upgrade off of those platforms very well and very reasonably. I don't recommend going the pawn shop route unless you are just planing to buy one for the action and have it upgraded from there but I've gotten some real bargains off of the classified section here and at the hide. [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f17/all-you-people-thinking-getting-started-but-intimidated-dollars-80244/[/url] The above thread is a very good read and you can see that a lot of us are doing this on a budget and still having very good results. Welcome to the addiction. [/QUOTE]
