[QUOTE="jpd676, post: 748575, member: 27751"] Diesel40, Welcome. I have a Remington LTR (20" 1/10) in .308. It is a great rifle and I shoot 168gr gold medal match out of it. It is accurate but at 600 yards this bullet starts to tumble. I can't reliably get any further with this barrel/bullet combo. Inside of 600 I am good to go. If I loaded for a 20" barrel I could likely get to 1000 yards. It just depends on how far you want to go; 600 yards is a long way. If you want to go past that I would suggest a 24" or 26" tube. I would suggest a fixed 10X super sniper from SWFA.com. I have several of them and they are excellent. I hunt with the 10X and have no complaints with a fixed power. If I were to purchase a new rifle today, it would definitely be a Savage over a Remington. I have a few of both but Savage will be (in my opinion) more accurate and need less tuning up. I have a stock savage predator in .260 and I have taken it over 1000 yards with 0 modifications. [/QUOTE]
