[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 617729, member: 13833"] Welcome to the site! The first thing you need to define is "what is long range"? This will determine what the minimun cartridge is. If you are like most of us, long range will probably become "longer range" very soon so I would go larger than the 7 mm if I were you. There are a lot of good guys on this forum with a lot of experience, so take the time to read up on this issue and don't be afraid to ask questions. Yes, you will get different opinions, but I think you will be able to look at the consensus and make an intellegent decision. Savage makes some very good over the counter rifles for long range hunting if you are trying to start out on a budget. I would look at the Sightron SIII scopes as well as the Vortex PST's. The Zeiss Conquest is also a good choice. If you don't mind a little extra length and weight, the 26" barrel will add about 80' +- to your MV.
