[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 680865, member: 4809"] Go for a bottom end model in the Savage line. They are known for having great out-of-the-box accuracy. I would go with the Rem 7mm Mag. Ballistically, it is on par with the 30-06, but the 7mm bullets have a better BC for the weight. You can load the cartridge down to 140 gr. bullets (or purchased for that matter). Do the barrel break-in right. Regarding glass, SWFA is a good way to go. Also, the Vortex Viper PST (second focal plane) in 4-16x50mm might be another option. If weight is a consideration, take a look at the Leupold VX-3 in the 4.5-14x40mm CDS. Leupold is currently offering an $80 rebate on that model. Good Luck. [/QUOTE]
