[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 571615, member: 30671"] There's a thread "don't be intimidated by dollars" on this site you should read. I once had a Ruger #3 .375 Winchester I taught kids with, safe, accurate, and reinforced the point when you're a 200 yard shot I'll get you a 200 yard rifle. You leave out a bit so I'm guessing as to what you have, and what you're level of experience is. The point isn't to demean, rather to encourage you not to skip over levels of development. This takes trigger time, and it's tough to beat a good 308 Winchester for cost effective. There are a ton of used target/heavy sporter/varmint/ tactical style 308's out there, wear one out, or get to where it's holding you back (which is actually a hell of a ways). Slowly acquire some of the accessories, upgrade a scope here and there, learn to reload. Again guessing as to experience etc. I'm shopping 308's for all of the above reasons, and just missed buying one that sold while I was driving too hard a bargain, but like I said there's a bunch out there.
