[QUOTE="valleysnyper, post: 1124514, member: 90894"] Hello all, I have been lurking for awhile and am ready to jump in. I am looking for a rifle and cartridge for what I consider long range, most probably wont though. I am used to shooting out to about 300yds, and all the ranges around my state of Wisconsin usually only allow shooting too 400 to 500 yds, so looking for a round good for target and whitetails to about 600yds. A little background on my experience, I have killed whitetails at a t little over 300 yds, have shot or currently shoot a 264 win mag, 300 wsm ,300win mag, 260 rem. 257 weatherby and a 338 lapua. I have looked at a Sako A7 long range hunter in 308 and 7mm mag. And a few models of Savage. I am not new to shooting, but at longer ranges I am. So the question is, can anyone recommend a rifle and caliber for me to think about ? There seems to be way to many to decide on, 308, 7mm, even a 6.5x 284, I do not reload right now, but I am slowly accumulating equipment to do so...Thanks in advance for any help...Gary [/QUOTE]
