[QUOTE="AJ Peacock, post: 577314, member: 4885"] Yes, there are off the shelf rifles that you can use (custom is better, but also will take a while). My 'off the shelf' Savage 300WSM shot 1moa - 3/4moa right out of the box (with reloads). A new stock, bedding and a bit of small adjustments and it is a solid sub 1/2 moa performer. I personally like the Rem 700 better, but I'm a tinkerer and the Savage is fun to fiddle with (barrel changes etc.). A varmint contour Rem 700 in 300WSM with a good stiff stock and good trigger will likely be all the rifle you need for several years, as you learn to shoot long range and hone your reloading skills etc. I'd spend your "extra-dollars" on a good scope and great mounts. Hope this helps, AJ [/QUOTE]
