[QUOTE="Barkbuster20, post: 2027450, member: 116205"] Very rarely will I ever be running below 32f just as rarely over 45f usually between 35-45f but I hear what your saying. My go to 175 gr load is corelokts with rl22 and an SD of 7 fps - obviously those corelokts are worthless past 400 and all the rest of the details. Components arent cheap - just looking for a good place to start. So far a vangaurd leaves me with around 700$ left over aside from the 1200$ optic budget and 400$ component budget to get it dialed in well under MOA. The 300 wby seems to be a pretty good standard -- not saying there arent better options but to come in on or under budget I'm having a tough decision. -- the savage long range in 300 WM is going to be cheaper with components for sure, so that's a tough decision. My 7mm is right at MOA but I'm sure I can get that around 1/2 MOA if I work with it as iv only tried 2 load combos that were good enough for me so I didnt go further - everyone says not to waste money on a ruger m77 mkii action though [/QUOTE]
