I am spending a lot of time looking for the ideal package. It seems every time I get set on a rifle I end up finding a\ someone pointing out something is better.
Here are my choices. Brother in law has a new unused weatherby 338 with a great Leuopold scope 2 boxes of ammo $1000.
online there is and an unlimited supply of custom semi custom and various styles of 308.
I was turned onto 300 WSM becuase of longer reach and flatter trajectory...
Here is what I want to do.
I want to hunt and be lethal at the longest possible range. I thought that range was 1000 yards... but.. a lot of arguing goes on when you dare say you want to take a deer at 1000 yards. Not sure that I wll have an opportunity to but....want the option.
I also want to compete in long range... so that is why I liked the 300 WSM lethal to 1000 yards but legal for Shooting competitions...
308 is supposed to be enough for both but hunting limits tend to be inside of 600 yards. 300 wsm is supposed to be both but not as flexible for ranges etc...
what to do what to do???? The 338 is available but I am told it kicks to hard, will destroy the meat.. and does not even fit into competition...
sooo HELLLLP! what to do?
Budget is fairly flexible but I am looking for .5moa or better from one gun... not 2 guns...
