[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 358975, member: 13632"] The Savage would be a great rifle but for long range you may run into a problem with the twist, it is a 9.25 which depending on your elevation may not stabilize some of the 100+ gr bullets. I would try to get the 105 Berger to work good, I have seen a couple deer get reamed by this combo out in the 600yrd range. I would be tentative to go to much farther. On the bright side if you rock it in a Savage you can get a 300 WSM barrel for 350 dollars and roll it on and step it up to a 1000yrds when the 243 has been out grown. You can make all the drop charts and cards you want with JBM, shoot to confirm then tweek them to get them spot on just like any other cal. [/QUOTE]
