[QUOTE="kellyzier, post: 376614, member: 22137"] I hate to respond here because there are so many opinions and mine is just like all others.....I have a 338 edge by shawn carlock, in fact it was his personal rifle last year....I love it..It shoots 1/4 moa all day long in a 15lb gun. My 15yr old shot a 1 moa group last week with it at just over 1600 yards....I love the gun, but frankly, if you really want to go much beyond this, you might want to look at Dave Viers 375 snipe tac or kirby allans 375 Allan mag. Im building a 375 snipe tac for this purpose. I like the edge for practice out to 1600 yards...The edge is a good training caliber with doping the wind and its cheap to shoot. And it kills like nobodies business. My 15 yr old shot a bull elk with my edge at 940 yards and it dropped like a ton of bricks. Your biggest problem past this range is wind...In fact your biggest problem to this range is wind,,,The snipe tac and the allan mag nearly cuts this problem in half (with the right bullet). Get a 338 am or snipe tac and you will burn up barrels, get a 375 snipe tac or am and you mitigate this. Im not knocking the 338 snipe tac or the 338 am, I almost built the 338 Am, the 375 in my opinion has benefits you can't pass up. In summary, if you are a new shooter, start out with the 338 edge or the lapua. Personally, I like the edge. Once you have spent time wth the 338 and you really understand lift, and wind and how it effects your bullet to 1,000 yards, then you are ready to step up to the bigger guns like the chey tac. Keep in mind, if you start out with the chey tac, it becomes your training gun. And its going to cost you some real bucks to practice. I like my edge for this purpose. I hate to say this, but I think you really need both calibers. The edge to get you to just under a mile and then the snipe tac or the AM to get you beyond this. I use my deisel truck for my heavy hauling with my business and my 30 mpg camaro for my every day running around, if this makes sense. This is my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions.
