[QUOTE="arrowbuck, post: 651124, member: 48079"] New to long range shooting and trying to learn a lot and get geared up to get in the game....... I already have a rifle chambered in .300 WSM but....... Just found out my Sako 75 Finnlite in .300 WSM purchased back in 2004 is built on a long action (V action)...!! Apparently Sako built a few rifles like that in '03 before they got fully stocked up on SM actions. So that leaves me with a few questions: 1) Does long action give me any additional .300 WSM reload options (specifically longer bullets with higher BC) given that I have a factory magazine/set-up or would i have to shoot 'em one at a time? 2) Any other factory caliber options for the long action set-up (without changing barrels) to improve accuracy out to 1000 yards? ..... and if not..... 3) Do I have any good options for building a long range, highly accurate rifle using my existing Sako V action and if so what calibers, barrels (manufacturers and specs) would you recommend? Been thinking about 6.5 family but open to any suggestions..... Thanks for any help/advice you can offer.....!! [/QUOTE]
