[QUOTE="treillw, post: 1123671, member: 92442"] I'm looking to get a long range rifle for elk. At this point I'm not too worried about the caliber, I just want to concentrate on the rifle make and model itself. The caliber is another discussion in itself. I want it to be a higher end rifle that will shoot awesome. I'd like to be able to shoot 700+ yards, depending on what I'm able to do with the rifle. I'm willing to spend a good amount of money to get something that I will be able to use and love for the rest of my life ($6K +\-). I've got a few ideas so far and would appreciate other ideas and any advice on how to make the decision. 1. Custom built rifle from a local smith (Live in PA) - kind of worries me that I may get a lemon and that they actually know what they are doing. 2. Gunwerks LR1000 - they have a reputation for building rifles that work and getting one would eliminate my fear of getting something that I won't be able to get to shoot right. Their package cost is pretty pricey though - I think around $8k till all is said and done. 3. Remington Sendero, sako, or something similar and sending it to Gunwerks to have them do some accurizing. 4. Christensen arms - seems like they make good guns. For shooting such a far distance, I would probably feel more comfortable taking the gun to somebody to have them setup the scope. I've done it in the past for my deer rifle that I hardly shoot 100 yards with, but I don't know a ton about putting them together and want to make sure it's done right. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
