[QUOTE="liltank, post: 638874, member: 13275"] Welcome to LRH. You go big or go home don't you!:D Well there are some options. You'll want a laser range finder. Swarovski, Zeiss, and Lecia are the best for budget buys... Zeiss leading in the price catagory and the Lecia 1600 is really right up there with the Swaro now. The new kid on the block is the G7 LRF, but it is $12-1500 making it the most expesive. The nice thing about that one is that it will calculate your distance on an incline. You can also put in your load data and will adjust the drops accordingly. It also reads baro, temp, and I believe humidity, but don't hold me to that.

Get a good base and rings. You will also want a high power variable scope for the Lapua. It can shoot a longs ways accurately. I would suggest no less than 15-20 power scope.
