[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 93321, member: 8"] Here is a bone stock Browning Abolt in 300Win. [url="http://longrangehunting.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=94001&Main=93956#Post94001"]stock Abolt[/url] Most of the accuracy of a gun comes from the shooter. Not the metal and wood (or plastic). Your confidence in your ability is more important than a custom stock and barrel. Your question on the mounts is what I am trying to tell you. You need trigger time not a fancy gun. You need to wade out there in the snow and shoot, not wait for springtime and new gun parts. You do not yet understand the fundamentals of the game. It is not the mounts but the traditional way a scope is boresighted and put on. For long range shooting when the gun is zeroed at 100 yds you should be maybe 10 or so clicks off of the bottom of the elevation adjustment. This will leave you with the 30 MOA you will need for elevation adjustments at ranges to and beyond 1000yds. I am really just saying that my perception of your level of knowledge about longrange shooting is that you are fixing to spend several thousand dollars and will not be happy wiith the results. It really doesnot matter whether you shoot the 300Win or the 22-250 at long range as long as you start getting expereince at ranging and shooting to the limits of the gun. For a 22-250 that will be about 700-800 yds. Take the boxes and go get it zeroed at every 100 yds from 100 to 800 yds. It wll be an educatinal experience that will enlighten you concerning scopes and bullets and trajectries. In the post that I have referenced the critical point in the whole hunting story is that no money had been spent on the gun. The money went into the spotting optics. Two trucks of hunters- one successful and one not successful. Key was the glass. Anyway, I do not mean to be insulting or nasty or derogatory. I just am trying to save you some money. By all means spend your money. This is a very expensive sport. [/QUOTE]
