[QUOTE="NDNmojoman, post: 1360332, member: 89484"] I have been shooting and reloading my Winchester Mdl. 70/300 win. mag for a long time and believe the barrel is finally getting worn out. My Winchester 300 was hitting steel at 750 yrds. I know these rifles are capable of longer ranges but that's about the longest field I have to shoot in. I am considering getting into some local long range events however I need to up date my equipment and need some help moving forward. I can't afford to spend $3-$5K on a custom rifle. I would love to but don't think my wife would understand. I have heard a lot about the 6.5 creedmoor and have been looking at the new Ruger precision and Savage precision rifles (I know they are not a Surgeon rifle or some $$$ Custom) but they are more in my price range of $1K to $1,500. So, here are a few question: -What caliber is best for these competitions I understand there are different levels but I would like to eventually get out to 1K yrds of more. -Is there a better way of purchasing a rifle that is in my price range, other then buying the Ruger/Savage platforms. -Is it possible to buy a rifle in 7mm/300 win in this price range. Like I said, I have been shooting for a long time but I am new to this arena and I'm at the point in my life where I have some free time to start learning more about this passion of mine. I know that optics is a total different subject I'll deal with that next. Thanks for any info. [/QUOTE]
