[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 527220, member: 2011"] I'd say you are spot in with your choices of cartridge, parts and pieces. Having raised 7 curtain climbers I understand the budget thing.:) One recommendation and one consideration: I'd consider running a Tubb's Final Finish process through the Shaw barrel. I understand they are not lapped though not positive. The Shaw barrels I have had were performers. I mention the Final Finish thought as I did it on a new Remmy 338 RUM barrel which shoots lights out. My sin of omission was that I didn't check accuracy prior to the Final Finish. Note: I ran half the process not using the two courser bullets. Secondly: The SuperSniper will do you well. 10X is enough to make those long shots. I had a SS and loved it, that is, until I got into the steep mountains with their shadows. Things went to hell in a hand basket quite quickly. Light conditions rendered my extreme magnum useless. I was in the north-south running mountains along the North Fork of the Salmon. The East-West tendency :rolleyes: of the sun made shooting LR to the east undoable until after 10 AM. Sun set was bad also. Just some things to ponder. Have fun and good shooting..... [/QUOTE]
