[QUOTE="7Rumloader, post: 76556, member: 3640"] First off welcome to the forum! I can't answer all your questions but I will take a stab at a few of them.... Here goes #1 the 270 is a good round for your first goal of taking deer to 500 yards with proper practice. #2 with effort you should be able to do 800 to 1000 with the right equipment. #3 the 308 would be a good round for a first long range stick that is very capable of 1000 yard shooting and as you said very easy to find load data for as well as cheap components and a long barrel life. #4 Savage makes a darn good rifle for an even better price so don't feel bad about buying one if thats what you decide. #5 you mentioned books on shooting and thats not a bad idea and also pick one up on reloading to give yourself some extra insight and pick up some extra tips to make things easier for you. You have been doing plenty of reading here and thats a great start. There are plenty of folks here that can answer your questions better than me and will have more info for you as well! Have fun!
