[QUOTE="Maq Attaq, post: 584410, member: 39097"] I found this site when I did a google search on ballistics on a .308 round for the new rifle I had aquired.(Rem 308 VLS). After reading through many of the threads, my mind started to get ahead of me. I never really thought too much about long range shooting or hunting. Most everything was within 300 yds and that was reaching out. I do not have a 1000 yd range close to me but at the farm we hunt I know we can get out to atleast 500 yds. So now I have gone through my safe and have decided that I have 4 candidates for the LR game. So here they are. 1. Remington .308 VLS / 26" BBarrel / VX II 3.5 x 12 x44mm. 2. T/C Encore .25-06 / 26" BBarrel / VX III 4.5 x 14 x50mm. 3. Sako .300 win mag / VX II 3 x 9 x 40mm 4. Remington 700 XCR 7mm mag / VX III 4.5 x 14 x 50 Il rec. So now my plans are the following, 1. Change the scope on the .308 to a viper 6 x 20 x 50 with the Target turrets 2. Leave the .25-06 alone. 3. The Sako is 30 years old and do not know the model...it hadnt been out of the safe in a few years..this beauty deserves new glass. What do I put on it??? 4. Send the scope on the 7mag to leupold and get custom turrets. I do not reload...I am shooting Hornaday 155 gr BTHP in the 308. Hornaday 117 gr SST in the 25-06, i have 160 gr Barnes TXS in the 7 mag and cant remember what i shot in the 300..... So lets here any suggestions on the above.......Thanks [/QUOTE]
