[QUOTE="metau, post: 145286, member: 7497"] Hello all, First, I would like to say that I am glad I have found this site. I have asked a pair of questions about barrels and my current rifle, which have led me to ask this question: What would be a good choice for a first LRH rifle? I am looking at spending less than $600 for the rifle, and no more than $1000 total, so I know that narrows it down alot. I have heard excellent marks for both remington and savage rifles. However, it sounds like a chevy vs ford thing. Here is an actual list of what I am trying to get for the moeny. -Capable of shooting accuratly out to 600-800 yards -Capable of taking elk at up to these distances -The flatter shooting the better -Effective cost of shooting -Possibility of doing a custom build from this -Ease/cost effectiveness of improvements -Portability, durability and most of all, reliablity I have the ability to pick up a rifle setup under retail thanks to my new job. I can only do this once, and this is what I am wanting to do with this. I can get various rifle makes through my new employer, but I am limited on optics. Leopould, Burris, Bushnell, Nikon and Simmons are what I know that we carry. I hunt in Colorado currently, but may move to Montana, Arizona or Alaska for continuing college. So it needs to be able to be handle any type of weather condition, yet act flawlessly when needed. I know that this is alot to ask for. I realize that. I am also aware that I might be asking for too much. That's okay too. I just want to get the best I can get for what I can afford. And right now, I can shell out about $850(savings after discount). Thanks for all of your input and suggestions. I look forward to seeing what you all have to say. Thanks Jerry [/QUOTE]
