[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 448345, member: 24624"] These are all great ideas to which I would add the following thoughts... I have nothing against any other caliber. But, recoil can be tamed if that's a concern with the one you'd like to use. My 14yo shoots a 700 Sendero 7mm Rem Mag very accurately for long range. I got it for a reasonable price on Gunbroker. It's accurate and has the twist rate to handle VLDs. It's heavier than I would want for a lot of carrying, but absorbs recoil and is a ***** cat since I had a KDF muzzle break installed for $180. Secondly, you need a long range shooting system that will include the proper rifle, scope, ammo, practice, wind meter, range finder, spotting scope, etc... Once you start hitting targets at long range, you will get hooked. So, commit early on to a plan that will put the whole package together over time and don't overspend on one piece only to be unable to range your game in the field. Best of luck with the project!
