[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 238843, member: 11717"] Some good options already mentioned. I think my set up would be pretty good also (if it was shooting sub MOA.) Sako Finnlight 300 WSM. I think this rifle has potential to be a 900 yd plus gun in mountains and higher elevations. Weighs 6 3/8ths lbs, topped with 2 lb NSX 5 1/2x22x50. Someone mentioned a large 50mm scope would be too top heavy for a light rifle, but I dont have any problem with mine in that regard and any shot over 300 yds will be taken off some sort of rest or bi pod, negating that issue anyway. Also, if you're only talking out to 500 yds, most rifles out of the box are capable of that these days. No build necessary. +1 for the the Finnlight. [/QUOTE]
