[QUOTE="trebark, post: 433874, member: 19172"] Jason: Welcome to LRH. I'm sure you will hear plenty of opinions here. Here's mine.... 223, nice caliber, but not great to long range work (I have one). An equally inexpensive round that has much more long-range capability is the 308. Get yourself a Remington 700 SPS Varmint in 308. Put a decent scope on it like a Nikon Buckmaster or Bushnell 3200 and that gets you in the game. From there, you will be able to upgrade as your budget allows. Here's a thread with the evolution of my 308.... [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-308-1k-rifle-evolution-continues-43510/[/URL] Be sure to read it all the way to the end and you will see it's total transformation into a fully custom 260. good luck and have fun!
