[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 906821, member: 74902"] If I were starting out again, this is what I would have gotten: Rifle: Savage 12 LRP (you pick the caliber 260 or 6.5 Creedmoor) - about $950.00 Scope: Vortex PST 6-24x50 SFP - about $750.00 Harris Bipod -Harris Engineering Bipod Rotating Black Leg Notch 9"-13" SLM - about $100.00 Bushnell Legend 1200 ARC range finder - About $300.00 Caldwell Wind Meter - about $40.00 You can always use a blanket for a prone shooting pad for a while. I would get the .260 if you are a reloader, If you are going to shoot factory ammo for a while, I would definitely get the 6.5 Creedmoor. Hornady makes very good reasonably priced match grade ammo for the CreedMoor and this rifle shoots it very well. Get the 140 AMax - Note: These two cartridges are hotly debated but in the end, they are practically equals This would be a setup that would take you a long ways. Then later on, if you wanted to get a custom barrel and change cartridges to .243, .308, .260, or 6.5 Creedmoor, just order the barrel and install it yourself. [/QUOTE]
