[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 479708, member: 24624"] The good and bad news is that there are a lot of options. Savage and Rem 700 Sendero are very poular in these forums. Rem - because there are plenty of smiths capable/willing to work on them. You can't say that about all makes/models, even the good ones. Savage - because you can actually do work such as rebarrel the rifle yourself with excellent results. Aftermarket parts are widely available for both and good deals are often available on used rifles. Get you a one-piece 20 MOA picatinny base and a Harris Bipod and you're all set. The only limitation past about 500 yds is going to be the consistency of factory ammo vs handloads. Superformance or one of the others Tank mentioned may give you the consistency needed to reach out farther. Welcome aboard and happy hunting! Richard [/QUOTE]
