[QUOTE="hawk45, post: 836260, member: 27634"] What kind of budget are you looking at not including glass? What you want to do can be done with a $700-$1200 factory rifle, or if you have deep pockets, a custom build between $3000 - $4500. As far as caliber.. I'd say a 6mm or 6.5mm variant. I like the plain ol' .243 with heavies (105s) as it can do 1000yds better than most. Next I'd look into a 6.5mm. I like cartridges I can get Lapua brass for so I like the .260, and if you want a little more bump, go 6.5x284 (but buy 2-3 barrels from jump to save time/wait down the road as it will eat them up).
