[QUOTE="remingtonman_25_06, post: 102048, member: 1403"] Well for deer hunting, I will tell you what I would choose. I would get a rem 700 receiver fully accurized. Get a 26-28" heavy fluted stainless barrel. Chambered in 7 WSM, shooting the 180g VLD bullet. I would use a mcmillan a-5 stock with a jewell trigger, also a harris bi pod. For scope mounts, there are several good ones, but I've always used leupold base and rings. I would either go with a Leupold MK4, in 4.5-14, or the 6.5-20, or a Nightforce. That would, in my opinion be the perfect set up for a shot at a big buck out to 800 yards. Why the 7 WSM??? Because from all the customs I've seen shoot, these things flat out shoot. It would push the big 180g VLD to a feasible speed in a 26-28" tube, and with its high BC, buck the wind and hit very hard for any buck to 800 yards. Very hard to beat 7mm for a dedicated long range deer rifle. Just my opinion though. [/QUOTE]
