[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2739972, member: 27307"] If fun and hunting is your goal then your choices are many. But the concept of low budget and LR target shooting will come into conflict. Nary the 'twain will meet unfortunately. LR requires excellent glass at least and it's expensive. Recoil from the larger cartridges, heavy bullets and increased powder capacity is a fact of life. LR target shooting does not require a .338 caliber cartridge, especially on a low budget. Many of us shoot the .30 caliber cartridges and now the current trend is the 7mm variety. I have a .300 Weatherby which I shoot at longer ranges as well as hunting. It's in a Sendero stock with a Bartlein Sendero barrel. But you could also consider the .300 PRC cartridge, .300 Win. Mag. or the 7mm PRC and the 7mm Rem. Mag. to accomplish your goals. There are several .30 caliber and 7mm cartridges to look up. Look at the bullets you might consider as well since the length of those will help determine the twist rate in your new barrel. Be prepared before you start spending money. :) [/QUOTE]
