[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1082970, member: 54178"] OK, looks like 1:8 is fine up through 140 gr. so I went ahead and got the Ruger American Predator. The price, decent trigger and the American rifles' reputation for accuracy were big factors in that choice. Yeah, a tactical Tikka may have been better but I didn't want to lay out that much money initially. I'm getting a muzzle brake for its 5/8" - 24 t.p.i. factory threading. It will be timed by my gunsmith (Bentwood in Henderson, NV) so it screws on with a closed bottom that mitigates blown dust. This is a "starter" rifle so I can try long range competition and see how I like it. I'm putting a 20 moa rail on it with a Badger Ordinance flat, integral (one piece) 34 mm. scope mount. I'll use my Bushnell ERS 3.5 - 21 scope with the Horus H59 reticle. That scope and base will travel to any better rifle I get if I stay in the LR competition game. [/QUOTE]
