[QUOTE="COBrad, post: 968571, member: 1940"] Someone suggested a Cooper Rifle. I've had 5 and they are shooters. You should be able to find an Excalibur on Gunsamerica.com or Gunbroker.com for around $1800, but it won't be a magnum and it won't be a feather weight, but it should shoot. I used my last Cooper .270 to kill numerous marmots as far as 750 yards. Another option, as mentioned, is get a donor action and start building. Sometimes you can get a factory rifle that will shoot sub MOA, but they are the exception. Get a good scope with a reputation for accurate and repeatable turrets. I have used a NF 2.5-10x32 out to almost 1100 yards. They work... as do a few others, but like factory rifles, some moderately priced scopes will be up to the task of long range shooting, but most won't, IME. YMMV [/QUOTE]
