[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1014185, member: 30902"] If all you're doing is banging steel and shooting paper there are lots of good options. The .308 and .260 are very easy on barrels for high volume shooters but beyond 800yds the .308 starts running out of gs in a hurry and flight time/wind can really eat on you. The 6.5x284 is a very popular long range target rifle and has great ballistics but it is harder on barrels. The 300wm is more than capable of game to a thousand and beyond and with the right bullets can be an extreme precision shooter beyond 1000yds. When it comes to platforms and optics there are lots of options, the big thing is setting on a budget. At the bottom end with the Remington 700LR you can start off at around 600-750.00 and have a lot of room left in the budget for good glass. If you go with a full custom the sky is the limit and if you have the budget then that's a great way to go. Lots of other good options to consider as well. [/QUOTE]
