[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 450482, member: 12"] A 308 with the 175 SMK at 2650 will normally need around 38 MOA to get to a 1000. Berger 185 would be the other bullet to look at. So keep that in mind. What does that mean? 1. You will need either a 20MOA base or burris signature rings with 20 MOA inserts. If you go with the burris buy, the double dovetail base and with the 20 MOA inserts they are as strong as any other set up around and under $100 all total. That setup is used all the time by 1K BR shooters and is totally reliable and sturdy. IMO stay away from the DeadNutz setup as it has zero MOA and you are going to need 20 MOA. Great normal hunting setup, but unless he has just come out with a 20 MOA setup, look elsewhere. 2. Look at the Bobby Hart LR stock sold by Stockys Stocks here on this site. Comes clear coated and with recoil pad and sling swivels and aluminum bedding block, so drop in and shoot. Under $300 and better setup than the Bell and Carlson. 3. Scope- You will need turrets with a 308 for sure. You will need a minimum of 60 MOA elevation. Keep those parameters in mind. 4. Watch here or [URL="http://www.6mmbr.com"]www.6mmbr.com[/URL], [URL="http://www.varminthunters.com"]www.varminthunters.com[/URL] , bench rest central classifieds or ebay for a good used, Leupold 4-14 or 6-20 either in a 1" or 30mm. 30mm is preferred but watch for bargains. Call Bob White at shooters corner (Shooters Corner is on BR central or google it). He has literally hundreds of used high quality BR and LR rigs and scopes for sale at good prices and is 110 % reliable.
