Hello all, I am a proud new owner of some land in South Central Alaska off Prince William Sound.
A .300WM seems to be the norm here. The question is which rifle/scope for a 500 yard shot. I would like to start off at 500 yards and as my skills progress, I will start gun smithing and upgrading parts for longer shots. I need something really durable/reliable since the weather can be ugly and many miles from civilization.
I would like opinions on make and model for a rifle and scope.
$2k max budget enough?
