[QUOTE="Jake Levi, post: 559724, member: 37333"] The Win 70 30-06 has been and is a great hunting rifle, but my shots have all been under 200 yards, that was back east, now I am in Wa but with the forests etc here I am thinking the distances will be mostly similar for deer. I have used the 06 for some 500-600 yard shooting and its fun, I havent been reloading but am going to be, economics of a fixed income. So I can see using the 06 for some longer range shooting, but really interested in the others, right now the .308 or .300Wn seem to be the ones I keep looking at for the LRS and possible LRH, if the hunting is much more likely then the .300 gets to look a lot better. I am going to go with the Savage, I have been looking at the Savage site and priced a 111 at $1200 with SS 26" barrell accu triger and stock and long action. Its available in both .308 and .300Win. This one is doable, for hunting and fun LR shooting, so for now its choosing the caliber, on another thread the reloading of the two comes out a 1/4 more economical for the .308, no surprise but great to know. But I keep thinking about the 338LM, and the accuracy and reach out potential, its a hook for sure. This site is a great help, I have always hunted, now am in great deer country and have a possibility on an elk draw. And there are many great places around here for some very decent LR shooting for fun. Life is good! Thanks for all of the great input, its appreciated. [/QUOTE]
