[QUOTE="Meister, post: 102028, member: 4118"] Mr Jones is correct in my opinion. 308 would enable you to get thousands of rounds before rebarreling, allowing you to inexpensively get as much trigger time as possible in a long range hunting rig. For humane 800yd kills I would recommend the 300WM. Nothing against the 7, I just prefer the 30 cals. My recomendation for the rifle if weight isn't an issue: Rem 700 LA - Trued and properly massaged - extractor upgraded - 300WM Obermeyer 30 cal barrel - 28 inches - twist to match bullet choice - taper #7 or #8 Mcmillan a5 stock Badger 20 moa base Badger 30 mm rings Leupold straight 16x mark 4 scope Harris no swivel bipod Jewel trigger Badger bolt knob Leave plenty of money to buy high quality brass and reloading equipment, rolling your own is the only way to go. This is merely what would come to mind if I had a need to take deer at 800 or so yards. Good luck and good shooting! Meister [/QUOTE]
