[QUOTE="IdahoJoe, post: 372731, member: 23980"] I am looking into building my first long range rifle and having trouble deciding on a caliber and have a few other questions. so far I have decided (but still subject to change) Rem 700 action Krieger 26 in barrel Bell and Carlson Medallion Stock Trigger undecided 130-140 grain bullets As I understand it I will need a 30-06 length action even if I go with a 6.5-284 to shoot the 140 grain bullets. Is it worth blue printing an action for hunting accuracy? I have access to Nitrex scopes at a discount are they high enough quality to put on this type of hunting outfit? I will be using this for deer generally and if I get lucky enough to draw a pronghorn permit. How far (assuming good shot placement) would you shoot an elk with this caliber? Any trigger sugestion would also be helpful. Thanks [/QUOTE]
