[QUOTE="angus-5024, post: 681535, member: 10306"] buster 1250, Its good to see that you know your .308. The Ballistic Tips are a good bullet for low velocity expansion. I was not tyring to be a jerk, although I re-read my post and I certainly may have come across as one. For that Im sorry. I dont think that any factory gun is going to be a good bet to get you out to 1500 yards. It may, but it will be a roll of the dice. I think that the 110's are a great platform for around the 1200 yards mark if they shoot well. or an absolute hammer under 1k. I would lean more towards an accumark in .338-.378, then you have a premium aciton to use if you need to re-barrel for accuracy sakes. If I were to buy a savage it would be the 110 BA (for ELR). Chucknback, I've bumped my scope before too. I went shooting with these guys repeatedly and it was always the same, with different rifles. Even with my rifles. I did however come across a guy that was a new huntiner and willing to learn. We shot at 680 yards the other weekend and he was holding MOA with his rifle and handloads. [/QUOTE]
