Oops, I think you're right.. None the less, this was a helpful thread too!

Thank you guys all very much. I was able to learn a lot from all that great info you gave me. I think I'm going to shoot for the Savage Long Range Precision 6.5mm Creedmoore. I believe I'd like the 6 BR better but those rifles are a bit out of my price range (unless the Model 12 F-Class could...

Okay, looks like a .308 might not be all to bad after all since everyone seems to really like them. Though, how does its reloading costs compare to say a 6.5 CM? Phillip

Thanks very much, I appreciate the advice. I think I'd like to stick with a 6mm BR or 6.5 CM rifle. I've read they are both extremely accurate rounds based on BC and have good selection in VLD bullets. While the 308 is inarguable a very capable rifle, I feel as if in the ballistics, is has been...

I will primarily be doing target shooting and would like to get as accurate a rifle as possible for under $1000, preferably around $700. The tighter the groups the better. However, I also want a rifle that will hold up well after many many shots. I've heard some people talking about how they...

Hello All, I grew up with a decent pellet rifle and Remington 22LR my grandfather gave me, both of which I shot quite a bit and became (what I thought) a relatively good shot. However, upon recently going shooting with some family and friends, I am feeling the need to get back into it with...
