[QUOTE="mtcaddis, post: 1023101, member: 86365"] I want to build a rifle that I can use for every day hunting and also long distance target shooting with the idea that practicing at long range targets with the same caliber and equipment will make me more effective at hunting at shorter ranges. I am currently hunting with an old .280 Remington model 700 and I really like the cartridge especially since the ballistic charts make it look superior to the 308 win. Is it possible to build a do-it-all rifle that you can carry easily in the mountains and still hit targets at 1000-1200 yards? Can I hit targets precisely with a bedded laminate wood stock, 22-24 inch sporter contour lilja barrel, and higher end 4-16x50 turret scope? Or would I have to go all out and get an aluminum chassis and a heavy contour 26 inch barrel which would be too much to carry through the brush for short range deer? [/QUOTE]
