[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1052977, member: 30902"] Of the rifles listed I'd lean towards either the 5R or 700 Long Range. They definitely gt the job done and at a reasonable price. The reason you see so many of us immediately start doing things to increase the accuracy potential of even new rifles is just the nature of the LR game. Shave a few hundredths of an inc here and there and it adds up to tighter and tighter groups and cold bore predictability. I've got 3 different 300wm's and three 300 Rum's as well. The wm's are very tolerable to me recoil wise even without a brake. The Rum's (two senderos and on classic M70win and I find none of them to be much fun to shoot absent a muzzle brake. Overkill? You can drive a 6p finish nail with both a 5lbs sledge and a 12oz finish hammer so why bother with the sledge? The sledge will be far more work and do as much damage as good. I work very hard at one shot kills on game and I've had a lot of success achieving same over the years. I however hate seeing a beautiful animal with a hole the size of a softball or bigger on the exit side. The latter to me is "overkill" and borders on wanton waste of gam. [/QUOTE]
