[QUOTE="liltank, post: 797319, member: 13275"] Welcome to the addiction! and LRH.:D 7mm Rem Mag will do all you need it to at this point. You'll want to get the trigger tuned up around 1.5 to 2#. With that said, the Remington stock trigger can be tuned, but if you want to go to something a little better, then a Jewel, or timney is the way to go. You can research this online and learn how to do the trigger tune on your own, or for anywhere between $20-$60 have it done by a gunsmith. You stock choice is excellent. Look around though, Manners is a top notch stock along with H-S. Most guys go with McMillian or Manners though. Either will do what you ask of it. One guy I know really pushes the Manners T-3 as the best long range stock for carry and target. After you tune the trigger and before you buy the stock, make sure the barrel is free floated. Don't know if you hand load or not (highly suggested for what we do here), take it to the range and make sure the barrel is up to scratch. You want to be able to shoot a minimum of .75" groups consistently at 100yds. You'll only need to shoot three or four different targets to know if it is a good barrel. If it is, then move on with your build. If it isn't, then check in to an after market barrel. Take it easy when you are target shooting. Shoot slow as not to over heat the barrel. Barrels get angry if you get them too hot. Clean every 50rnds or so. Make sure before your range session to have the barrel completely free of copper fouling. Get the best glass you can afford. This makes or breaks a rifle. Trigger time is key. Dry fire and see if you flinch. The cross hairs should not leave center other than a little bounce from the firing pin. If you find the the cross hairs jump any large amount, your flinching. Dry fire until you can calm it down. This should get you started. [/QUOTE]
