[QUOTE="GonzoK34, post: 515457, member: 8915"] If you plan on hunting big game out to 800+yds, the 308 is out. The 7mmMag, 300WinMag for example provide increased velocity, energy, stability, and accuracy with less wind effects. A few of my rifles have muzzlebreaks. They work, but their load. Save your money don't install one. It isn't needed unless the recoil effects your follow thru. Buy a rack grade Rem700, spend $500.00 on an accuracy tune of the action, barrel and glass bedding. Install a one piece 20 degree base and quality rings. The H&S Precision stock with aluminum bedding block will do. Just send your rifle to a quality gunsmith. For about $1100,00 total you'll have a great shooting rifle. Buy a Nightforce NXS 5x22x56 scope and you have a fine long range rifle. Since your still on active duty save your money and buy the rifle first. Try gunbroker.com and find the rifle you want. Later have it tuned. Buy the bases and scope.[IMG]http://s1196.photobucket.com/albums/aa414/gonzok34/300%20mag/?action=view&:current=300winmag2.jpg[/IMG] Thanks for your service.
