[QUOTE="West Calamus, post: 1735421, member: 110228"] Indyal if your buying a factory rifle for long range paper cutting I would go with the 6.5's or 7-08. Would stick with the 24 in barrels that are in the varmint/predator/long range models. The budget models all the manufacturers make have light whippet barrels that have bad harmonics. The extra barrel weight will help hold on target and reduce recoil. Even a .270 or 7-08 in a 6 1/2 # rifle with a hot load will start to jar your teeth after 20 rounds. On your scopes just make sure it has external adjustments and all the clarity you can afford. Some of these highly advertised scopes get kinda blurie after a hour of shooting. I find that leupolds just seem to stand up to a clearer sight picture after several hours shooting. You really can't just stand at a gun counter and look though the scope to know how much clarity a scope has but you can after several hours shooting. Good luck my friend!! [/QUOTE]
