[QUOTE="Ranger Rick, post: 2096252, member: 111184"] Wow, for “That has wanted me to get a bolt action for a long range shooting maybe for hunting and shooting steel,” $10k is a high entry point. Right now there is an ammo and reloading supplies shortage, so it is common to see posts by folks who got a new rifle but can’t shoot it. I agree with the members who recommend getting two rifles and good glass for $10k. But, you may not be able to shoot either for some time. The 6.5 Creedmoor is an excellent round for deer and smaller animals. I prefer a .270, 7mm mag, 300 or similar for elk, especially for new hunters. You have gotten quite a few recommendations. So, again IMO, take a look at a Masterpiece Arms 6.5 PRC or 300 PRC for steel - you will hit 1,000 yards in no time and go beyond. For your hunting rifle, lots of choices: factory rifles = Bergara, Browning, Seekins, Win, Wby & others under $2k. For custom rifles, follow the above recommendations. For scopes @ ~$2k, check out neutral reviews In addition to some thoughts from above. [/QUOTE]
