[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 1424601, member: 52585"] Based on the above, a 300wm is good but a lot of thump for long range fun. Hard to beat as a hunting round. Good but far from the best at competition unless you're looking well beyond 1k. If you really like the 5R, I'd look for one in 65 Creed or 260 Remington. I'd really lean toward the 6.5x284 but factory offerings are limited. You could always go with the good ole 308 or 7mm08 as well. Those will do well for fun / comp out to 1k and hunting up to elk at reasonable ranges. You'll find the short action to be much more enjoyable to shoot long range and much easier on your barrel. If looking at a short action and wanting to stay in the 5R budget you could also look at the Ruger RPR or the Savage. [/QUOTE]
