[QUOTE="Wild_Bill, post: 173124, member: 4785"] [b]Options[/b] Hi this is what I would do. First have the rifle bedded trigger adjusted and a realy good baffel type muzzle break fitted. Then fit a 20moa base and look at a scope with a ranging type reticle off your choice look for a seccond hand as new scope to get more value for your money. I would look at a 6-24 power scope or one similar. As for projectiles forget Barnes X bulets the BC's are no good for long range work. My preference would be first the 240gr matchKings and the 220gr MatchKings but if you are wanting a bonded bullet the 200gr Accubond is worth a go. As for the powder it is hard to go past Retumbo as it was developed here in Australia they went through 8 barrels in testing and getting it right. Then get the other tools you require and practice.
