[QUOTE="mphstigerfan, post: 373204, member: 23311"] I agree with everything winmag just said. I just bought a winchester m70 coyote and though I havent stetched out past 100 yds just yet, (still in load development phase) it has shot a 0.40 inch group at 100 yds. this is a stock rifle. I did a LOT of research on different guns before I put my money down and I suggest you do the same. many manufacturers need to tighten up their quality control on base model guns. I have heard way too many horror stories about $800- $900 rifles that wont put 3 shots in an inch or even come all that close even with handloads. my suggestion is either a savage, even though the action looks and feels cheap to me, they seem to be very accurate. or a winchester. the remingtons I do like are the senderos and mil specs both go into four digits but will generally drive tacks. or look into something with a MOA guarantee. ex. weatherby vanguard sub moa., sako, tikka, thompson center, etc... and as winmag said get enough gun. I love my 300 wsm and any of the 300 mags would be a good choice. the 7mm's and 270 mags are nice too. although for a guy with one rifle the 300s are more versitile. whatever you buy spend hours on here and googling rifles and reading any review you can find. and put way more stock in guys who know their stuff but dont work for magazines. remember a bad article on a rifle can put them out of a job rather quickly. by the same token when a new rifle comes out and nothing is written about it, this is usually not a good thing. the bad articles go in the trash and never get printed. all this said good luck, I hope you like your new rifle as much as I do.
