[QUOTE="Rick Richard, post: 1106601, member: 75895"] To be very honest, a custom or semi custom will be the best bet to assure accuracy. If you can't go that route and have to purchase a factory rifle then you run a greater risk of owning a 'dud'. I have had more success with Savage rifles that are sure enough shooters out of the box than most of the other manufactures. In particular the Long Range Hunter series. Two of them will shoot WAY better than .5 MOA at 300 yards. Also, I have a 5R in 308 that will shoot ragged holes at 200 yards. As for as weight, light rifles never shoot as well at longer distances for me. This is why for my hunting rigs for either stand hunting or trekking through the mountains they will be near the 10 lb mark. If I need lighter than I will loose it through body weight (me) or from the pack. Good luck on your quest. [/QUOTE]
