[QUOTE="Oliveralan, post: 494895, member: 20245"] Based on all he licenses required, sounds like your from my home country of Germany! Or maybe rest of Europe has also become as regulated... More important than having a big rifle is practice and experience. You cannot just build one gun as a be all end all. They are tools, it's like trying to build a car with a hammer, and deciding because you Only want one hammer your getting a BIG one. For starters a .308 Winchester is a good place to start. That will give you thousands of rounds to practice with, but also able to take game to 600yards or more in light to medium wind. A long range hunting rifle is an extremely specialized piece of equipment. You will not want to learn to shoot with a 338 edge. Cost alone justifies building a practice rig, with the cost of reloading components in Europe, you'll be far better off building a 308, .260 Remington, 6.5x47 Lapua, 7mm-08, something in that range with 3000rounds plus of barrel life. Also joining a shooting club is an excellent idea, taking shooting classes an even better one! [/QUOTE]
