[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 174118, member: 8"] I would go and get some Federal Gold Medal Match and shoot some groups and see what the accuracy of the gun actually is with quality ammo. There is nothing wrong with 1.0 MOA groups other than you can't brag about them. But that is enough accuracy to out to the maximum range of the 308. I would then spend money on thge reloading set and begin to practice reloading and long range shooting. When you have killed a deer or whatever in the 500 yard to 800 yard distance then you will know better what kind of gun suits you and whether investing big dollars into a sport that is very specialized is what you want to do. Most people think long range hunting is about equipment and people seldom discuss actual hunting technique. There are a number of distinct techniques and you need to sort out which one fits your personality and goals. After that you can better judge the equipment that is needed for you style of hunting. Now then if you just want to go and spend some money, that is fine it is your money, but up to this point you have posted nothing that leads me to believe anything is wrong with what you have.
