[QUOTE="PowellSixO, post: 786208, member: 66495"] I'm new to LRHing, but I thought I would throw my two cents into the pot. I just built a rifle that fit the OP's price, and is a pretty capable rifle. I know it's been a good place for me to start. I started with a Savage 111 Trophy Hunter XP 7mm Rem Mag. I picked it up for 500 bucks. The rifle comes with a jewelled bolt, an Acutrigger, and a some what decent stock with some work (the stock will be my next upgrade however). I then purchased a BlackHawk 0 Moa picatinny rail, and a set of BlackHawk 30mm rings. This set me back 110 bucks. I then purchased a Vortex Viper PST 2.5-10x44 EBR-1 MOA scope for 600 bucks. I threw a BlackHawk Bipod on to finish the rifle off for another 65 bucks. All in all I have 1275 in the rifle. This rilfe will shoot MOA all the way out to 600 yards with factory ammo. I haven't been able to shoot any further yet, but hope to do so soon. I have just got into reloading, and hope to work up a round that will get me sub moa hopefuly. But anyways, I love the rifle and have been very pleased with it so far. It's the perfect starting rifle for me and should teach me a lot. Here are a few pictures of the rifle and parts. It's no where near what a lot of you guys are shooting, but it should be a good tool for me to progress into the world of LRHing! :D [IMG]http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll39/XC-SquareBush/Rifle%20Savage%207mm/IMG_1610_zps5614990d.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll39/XC-SquareBush/Rifle%20Savage%207mm/IMG_1609_zps41c34775.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll39/XC-SquareBush/Rifle%20Savage%207mm/IMG_1602_zps3ea7fea0.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll39/XC-SquareBush/Rifle%20Savage%207mm/IMG_1603_zps25846b56.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll39/XC-SquareBush/Rifle%20Savage%207mm/IMG_1612_zps00fda636.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i284.photobucket.com/albums/ll39/XC-SquareBush/Rifle%20Savage%207mm/IMG_1617_zps2894fd53.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
