[QUOTE="Pbailey, post: 526409, member: 35393"] Well, Ive been looking around here for a while, and finally decided to join! Lots of good information here, thank you for what you have already taught me. Now for my dilemna, I am getting more and more into/addicted to long range shooting, and would really like a little advice from everyone here on buying my first rig. I have a few different options in my mind, and please feel free to suggest anything else! First off, I am looking at buying a stock flatform that is built for long(er) range accuracy. The Savage Long Range Hunter, and the Remington Sendero SFII. Secondly, I have been looking around for a used set-up, here is one that has really interested me. [url=http://www.ifish.net/board/showthread.php?t=365484&highlight=stw]www.ifish.net[/url] I am not sure how much I really want that caliber, but I feel like it is a really good deal, and once the barrel is shot out, I beleive I could buy a new barrel in a 300 win mag or so, and still have an awesome shooting rifle. The owner of this has even showed me his 1000 yard targets. Pretty impressive! The barrel has 550 rounds down the tube, Ive heard the stw usually lasts near 2000? Finally, I am pretty interested in the 300 win mag because of the readily available brass and info, and reliability of the round. But, there are a lot of awesome used Sendero platforms in 300 RUM. And to top it off, If I buy a new gun, or a rifle without a scope, I would put a vortex viper PST on it. Thank you very much! and please fire away with ANY and all suggestions and opinions!
