[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 468118, member: 24624"] There is no upper limit. You'll end up spending everything you've got. But, you will enjoy every minute. On the other hand, you don't have to spend a fortune to have fun and reasonable success. If this is for targets, buy a Savage 12F in 6br and try factory Lapua Ammo. Save your brass for when you start hand loading. You'll need a good scope. I bought a used Leupold VXIII 6.5-20x40 with target dot reticle for about $350 on ebay. Plus EGW 20MOA rail and Burris Extreme Tactical rings. If you outgrow that rifle, you can rebarrel it yourself to just about anything all the way up to 338 Edge or Lapua Magnum and customize with a tactical stock, etc... If you want to hunt, then there are a lot of things to think about. But, inaddition to the rifle, scope, bases, rings, you'll need good binoculars, range finder, bipod, backpack, clothing, etc. There are some good DVDs and books available. But, the best value is this forum and the experts who are willing to share their experience. Either way, you'll want to practice a lot which will cost you fuel, ammo, and range fees. Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
