[QUOTE="Rifleman513, post: 1241477, member: 32318"] I would also lean towards the Lapua. The Wby has a little more punch, but you are limited on your brass and if your real intention is targets at extended range then the extra speed and energy aren't a real issue. Heck, even for hunting the Lapua is capable of more distance than 99% of shooters could ethically get out of it. Just to throw it out there. For the cost of a nice high dollar Wby rifle, maybe consider getting an action and having a semi custom built. A rem action with your choice of barrel, stock, trigger, etc would probably not be much different than the Wby. But it would let you compile all the components you desire into a gun that is "yours". Nothing against Wby rifles (I own one) but for a strict long range gun it would be hard to beat one you hand picked yourself. [/QUOTE]
