[QUOTE="EFR, post: 430500, member: 9643"] I just returned from my first antelope hunt and had a great time. I took a nice goat at 344 yds, my longest big game shot to date (Rem 700 mtn rifle, .270 win, leupold 2.5-8). Although all worked well, I would like to buy, build, or make a dedicated long range goat and deer gun. I have Rem 700 ADL in 30-06 sitting idle in the safe I could use as a start. I first thought of having it re-barrelled to 6.5-284. I read a lot of good about that cartridge here. The other thought was selling the ADL to fund the purchase of a new Remington 700 CDL SS fluted in 270wsm. The ballistics of the .270 wsm look really good, plus factory ammo availablity, and the current Remington $100 rebate sounds good. Buy this gun new, replace the stock with a good synthetic and on my way. I currently have a Sendero in 300 RUM for elk, but a .270wsm could be a good back up gun for elk. What do you think? The long range game is new to me and I appreciate your experience and advice. As for long range, I see no reason for [I]me[/I] to attempt a shot at 800yds if I can get within 250 yds. However, I would like to be able to shoot as far as my abilities and equipment allow. Thanks, Erik [/QUOTE]
