[QUOTE="hugetacticles, post: 1364150, member: 45038"] Am I better off getting an xbolt or a savage lrh and having a smith do some work to it or should I try to piece something together? Are there things smiths can do to factory rifles that will actually make a difference or would that involve new stocks, triggers, and barrels all together? I say 500 yards because that's about as far as I can shoot on the current property I hunt and I prefer to get as close as I can to whatever I shoot, mostly because i dont have hours and hours a week to dedicate time to practicing out to 1000 yards. That being said, I would like to get something that doesn't completely limit me should I find more time for it. I would rather get something that has the capabilities of shooting out to 8-900 yards at some point. Is a 30.06 just a bad choice for what I'm looking for? I was shooting Barnes tsx 168 grain bt's and it seemed to be shooting really well without any work and a Nikon buckmasters scope. I'm just curious if it would be more advantageous to spend less on a rifle and put a custom stock on it and have some trigger work done rather than spend the money on an xbolt. I just want the thing to be accurate. [/QUOTE]
