[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 2009600, member: 95733"] "Sounds like you're pulling together some good equipment. If you intend to do a lot of shooting there may be a more cost effective cartridge. Will you be using this firearm for hunting? If so what game animals do you intend to hunt" Speaking of cost effective, I did buy a Savage 10 FP in 308 for a price that I simply couldn't pass up. Came with a 5R heavy contour barrel, Accu-trigger, Accu-stock and DBM that I always planned on using to learn to shoot long range with. Have shot it to 300 yards and it is amazingly accurate with plane blue box Federal Vital Shock 150 and 180 grain ammo. It even shoots both essentially to the same POI 100-200 yards. I am very excited to see what it can do with some Lapua brass and Berger bullets. 90% for hunting and all else just confirming drop at longer ranges. My 308 Savage will be my rifle to learn long range shooting with. [/QUOTE]
