[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 591701, member: 13833"] Pretty good list. You mention velocity and b.c. as being major which is true for long range hunting. Since you are on this forum, I assume that is your goal. One thing that I haven't yet seen mentioned is bullet selection available for the caliber you chose. This can sometimes be a major factor although because the long range crowd is growing, manufacturers are starting to step up. I too like what Wildrose said about getting enough gun and working backwards. With this in mind, it might behoove you to pick something that can be effective with reduced loads. Remington has realized this with there 300 RUM. Maybe the best thing of all about "one gun doesn't fit all " is it allows us to have lots of rifles! I tell my wife this all the time:D.......Rich [/QUOTE]
