[QUOTE="Brydawg512, post: 1510650, member: 107792"] Hello all, I am brand new to this forum and am wanting to get into long range hunting/shooting. I will admit I have alot of learning and practice to do, but I am more than willing to do it. So, first things first... Getting a firearm that will do what I need it to do. I hunt black bear, deer and elk. I would like to be able to shoot out to 600-650 yards at a max range. Currently, I have an older (probably 70s or 80s) Winchester model 70 wood stock chambered in 7mm with a Leupold VX-11, 3-9x40. However, I am looking to purchase a newer rifle chambered in 300, but I am open to other caliber options that would best suit the distance/game I am hunting. So, I have been looking at the Remington 700 as an option, however, I am open to hear other recommendations. So, if you are willing to recommend a good "starter" set up it would be much appreciated. I would like to stay under $1200 total for the full build, but understand that may not be a possibility. I apologize for my lack of knowledge, but I am always interested in learning more. Gun? Caliber? Scope? Any other modifications (barrel, stock, etc.)? Thank you very much in advance! [/QUOTE]
