[QUOTE="atomiclab, post: 637230, member: 45976"] I am looking for advice and opinions on building a long range / varmint rifle. I have a modest budget, so I was hoping to stay around $1,500 or less for rifle, stock and smithing if possible. I was thinking of a savage for the base rifle, but what to chamber it in? Lately I have been thinking about maybe a 6mm Rem, or 6mm Rem Ackley. also I do love all things 6.5mm. also 28" 30" 32" barrels are alright by me too. I just want a little wind bucking and enough down range energy for small game. I want something that will have enough energy at least for a coyote at 1K, and be a fun gun to shoot from the bench for paper punching and ringing gongs. also reloading components affordability are a consideration too (ie. 6mm bullets cost less than 338 bullets, and putting 50gr powder per case costs less than 100 gr powder per case) Obviously, you guys get what Im saying. anyway. thanks for your help and opinions [/QUOTE]
