[QUOTE="*WyoWhisper*, post: 8359"] This worked for Dave so I thought I'd give it a try.. I realize he's nice, more popular, and doesn't have the odor I do.. but hey, apparently I can cook!! OK I am in the same situation as Dave.. but my requirments are different... I am looking to build a tactical rifle that will take care of shorter range work but on occasion stretch to 800+ yards. A proven tack driver and not real had on the wallet or my shoulder... I want a rifle that weighs about 12lbs or so.. I am sold on the A5 so that's a for sure, don't need bells and whistles on the stock... caliber is my big problem.. I was thinking .308 but then I have read and was told about how the .260 out performs the 308 when using the 142/140 gr bullets. I ran the numbers and on paper... yup.. it sure does... but I have this buddy who is known for saying enough and answers every question but never saying to much...unless you really pry.. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] and he mentioned, I'd be looking for more and go with the 6.5/284 since BH is making match ammo ( I can't seem to find it though ) .. so wadday think... [/QUOTE]
