[QUOTE="bgouin, post: 368776, member: 5625"] LTLR Thanks for this information. I have spent months trying to find out the capability of my Mark V action. I have received more information in the past few days than I ever thought possible. I was planning to upsize right away after the post from Broz, but I think that I will start with my original plan initially and stay with the 340 WM until I can shoot it. If I can achieve resonable accuracy then I will look into upsizing to a larger head size and go for longer range capability. Much of this decision is financially driven. Short term I can probably count on 1000 yard performance with the 340 WM which will stretch the capability of my current scope (Lupy M4 3.5-10x50x. Also my McMillian stock is a sporter and will only take up to a Lilja #6 barrel contour. A new stock and scope would set me back about $2k more, and this is just not feasible right now. I would imagine that once one gets started on the path to serious upgrading that the sky is the limit. The barrel upgrade has already cost about $600, so it makes sense for me to take baby steps. I now have enough information to get more serious in the future. My marksmanship will tell me weather to upsize or stay put.
