[QUOTE="JPHunter, post: 882257, member: 74047"] Hi fellas, I'm wanting to get a proper long range rifle setup in the next twelve months and am just thinking through options. I don't want to say I'm working on a budget setup but money is a relative factor to consider. Also any gun, or scope or anything hunting you guys have will typically be 30-60% more expensive in Australia. My goal is to be able to target shoot and hunt comfortably out to 1000 m (1093 yds). I'd like to go further but that's what I'd be happy with if it's all I could manage. For calibre I'm thinking 338 Lapua at this stage. Also considering 338WM, 338RUM and I guess 300RUM but prefer the first 3. For rifle I'm thinking Savage 10/110 FCP HS Precision (If I go the 338 Lapua). That gun is about $2500 in Australia. For the scope I'm thinking Nightforce 8-32x56mm BR (About $1500) Projectiles I still have no idea, maybe Barnes LRX or Berger Hunting projectiles. What are peoples thoughts? Happy to consider any recommendations or opinions about the setup. Thanks in advance guys JP [/QUOTE]
