[QUOTE="StrutNut, post: 1116429, member: 88257"] As you get into this it seems your budget is similar to mine its just that i was looking for a larger cal to push the range farther for bigger animals. Some things I considered in my overall budget that you may want to consider was not just gun/scope but a quality base and rings too. Also, reloading equipment and supplies, Kestrel, range finder, things like this all add up too. I am spending as much on my optics as I am on the rifle leaving me with enough to get a good range Finder (Leica) as well as a Kestrel so I will be all set. I am also picking up a range book and getting a good ballistic software program for my Galaxy5. For white tails I would go with a 6.5, .260 or 7mm. If you are not reloading that 7mm would be a great option as ammo is readily available for it and it is a fantastic round. I had one for 20 years and just handed it down to my son. Some incredibly great hunters on this site gave me some solid advice. I truly do love this site! [/QUOTE]
