[QUOTE="TheW900Man, post: 250136, member: 14121"] Thanks for the replies. after doin some talking to with some dealers today I think im prolly gonna go with the remington 700 stainless or the savage. I have a friend who has a savage with the accura-trigger and i like the way it shoots. Everybody talks about the model 700 and lots of custom builds are done using this action from what i have read. As far as a caliber goes im sorta leaning to the 300 Win Mag or the 300 WSM. I was looking at the optics also today and man i tell you those Nightforce scopes are NICE....With a nice price tag to go along with it. Hopefully one day I might get one but it's kinda looking like Nikon or a Bushnell for starters. I cant really knock the Tascos too much for a general hunting scope tho...I've heard lots of bad things about them but they have served me well in what I have used them for...Just not willing to give them a go for the accuracy needed for a 400 + shot on a animal. Any thoughts on what power and lens diameter would be good? I was thinking of a 4 or 5 power min. and somewhere about a 16 to 20 max. with about a 44 or 50mm lens with an adjustable objective? Oh has anybody ever heard of a Leatherwood (I think) scope...it's supposed to have a cam sorta thingamajig that you use to adjust elevation instead of using the turret? [/QUOTE]
