[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 419935, member: 13632"] My advice, being barely above the newbie stage is go with one of the solid 338 choices like the 338 Lapua, 338 Edge or 338 RUM. All will offer good barrel life and all seem to be fairly easy to load for and very accurate and forgiving. Learn to reload high quality ammo and learn solid LRH shooting skills with a rifle like this so when you step up to the big dogs you are ready to load and shoot at that level. Find a load and buy a ton of components then shoot heck out of it and let the rifle teach you, this is hard to do when your shooting a hotter round as things are changing and then you burn the barrel out just when your getting dialed in. If your less newb than your letting on, rock the 338-408 CheyTac variant gun) As far as the LRF get the Leica 1600, smaller beam divergence gives you more accurate reading over the Swaro or bump it up to the Vectronix and never have to buy another range finder.
