[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 434873, member: 1007"] 1st and foremost I dont believe that there is a 'best' set up generaly speaking. Best for me and best for others isnt possible. That said, I believe that after 15 years of dedication to longrange hunting, I have finnaly found perfection. At least for me. Why is it perfect? Because it is super accurate, delivers amazing amounts of energy WAY out there and has less than 48" of wind at 1K yards, is easy to carry, feeds and functions flawlessly, perfectly balanced, the action is as smooth as silk, built like a tank and least it is a good looking stick. I would NOT change any one spec on the rifle. If it was ever stolen, I would try and duplicate it exactly as it sits today. For the boomer: 338 Edge 700 Action blueprinted to perfection, sako style extraction, badger bolt knob aftermarket firing pin assembly jewell trigger at 7oz. wayatt box mag Tubb lug modified to allow for easy stock removal McMillan HTG stock in forest cammo pillar bedded to perfection ABS 28" barrel with titanium muzzle break Seekins 1 peice base bedded to the action Nightforce UL rings 10# on the nose with the Mark 4 10x I use two scopes for it for different purposes Nightforce 5.5-22x50 MLR/MIL turret with zero stop Leupold Mark 4 fixed 10x Mildot Berger 300 HY at 2727 FPS (surgical precision) It is the accuracy, perfect balance and light weight that make this rifle. Everything else is a pleasent bonus. For the fun gun: 308 Winny 700 Action blueprinted to perfection, badger bolt knob aftermarket firing pin assembly jewell trigger at 7oz. wayatt box mag Tubb lug McMillan HTG stock in desert cammo pillar bedded to perfection Hart 26" barrel fluted 11x Nightforce 40MOA 1 peice base bedded to the action Badger rings Nightforce NXS 5.5-22x50 MIL/MIL Too many loads to mention. The best is the 208 AMAX at 2610 FPS. Consistent sub 1/2 MOA at 700 yards. I have yet to fire it any further. Shoots ragged holes with MANY types of bullets and powders. Easy to shoot, forgiving and easy on the shoulder Cheap to reload for Superior barrel life I never get tired of ultra tight groups even way out there. It continues to amaze me from 100 yards to 1000 yards. [/QUOTE]
