[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 444021, member: 3745"] Dustin, Welcome to the LRH site. Where are you in north central Arkansas? I live in the Searcy area. If you are close and want to bring your rifle out sometime I would be happy to look it over and offer some advice on how to set it up for long range shooting. If the rifle shoots well and you are happy with the 7mm caliber you would probably be better off working with it for now and using the money you would spend on another rifle on better optics or other "necessities" for long range shooting. I assume here in AR you are mainly hunting whitetails. The 7mm rem mag is plenty of rifle for whitetails at well over the 500 yard mark you mentioned. You are correct that the WBY action is not all that popular for building a custom rifle, but that does not mean they do not or cannot be made to shoot well. I have a custom rifle built on a MK IV action and many others on this site have customized and factory WBY rifles that shoot very well indeed. just post me a reply here or send a PM if you want to get together sometime and check out your rifle. I have a range here at my house where we can shoot to 1000+ yards. I am headed to KS for a deer hunt next week, but after that I should be around. [/QUOTE]
