[QUOTE="Moman, post: 434692, member: 10494"] LTLR, my hat is off to you for starting such a great and informative post. My favorite long range rig is also my carry gun. It's a trued 700 action on a McMillan Classic Edge stock, Broughton 25" 5-C with 11 twist, Holland lug, Talley lightweight rings holding a Leupy VX-3 4.5x14x40 LR with BC reticle. This gun is crazy accurate and the gun alone only weighs just under 7 lbs. I can easily put in the miles with this one. Shooting 180 AB's at 3050 fps. Next up is a Remington Sendero II in 300 RUM. It was a real piece when I got it but I recrowned the muzzle, relieved some stress points in the stock, and got it down to a 0.6 shooter. I learned a lot in the process of trying to bring this one around. It has TPS 20 MOA base and TPS rings holding a Sightron SIII 6x24x50 MD with a Harris Bipod. Shooting 200 AB's at 3100 fps. My more or less practice gun is another crazy accurate shooter. It's a Rem 700 5R Milspec in 308 Win. Untouched straight out of the box can shoot 0.1's. It has a Ken Farrell 20 MOA base with TPS rings and typically has the Sightron scope that is on loan to the RUM. Have shot this to 1060 yds and it does very well. I'm not sure what the best LRH setup is but for me my next will be something in the 338 offerings. I've been talking to one of the smiths on here about putting together a parts list that I can start working on. Hopefully have something in the works this spring. [/QUOTE]
