[QUOTE="Moman, post: 380067, member: 10494"] I agree with the other posters, you should have no problem getting out to 800 yds or so. I have been shooting a factory 24" 300 WM and it has been very accurate out to 800, and have even taken it to just over 1,000. The barrel finally went south on it and I had it rebarreled with a Broughton 4.1 contour finished at 25". With the factory barrel and McMillan Edge stock, the gun alone wieghed 6.75 lbs, with the new barrel it is just under 7-1/4 lbs. I have other heavier barreled rifles which do better at longer distances, but for a light weight carry gun, I appreciate the 7-1/4 lb rifle. I forgot if you said you were looking at barrel ideas as well, If you are, take a look at that 4.1 contour that Broughton does. [/QUOTE]
