[QUOTE="458win, post: 94890, member: 3423"] Stick with your 308 for now. Once you are wringing all the accuracy out if it then go for a custom built rifle. 500yds is definitly attainable with a stock 308. Get a new scope(Nikon buckmaster 4.5-14 defies all logic when it comes to getting what you pay for), have the trigger lightened and the action bedded. For bullets I would start with the 165gr Ballistic tip if your going to be using this for deer at that range. Also start reloading its the only way to achieve top accuracy in YOUR rifle. One other requirement for shooting long range is a accurate rangefinder....for cheap and good your going to have to ask around. I bought a swaro first off to save myself the money of buying a cheapo now and then a swaro later. Far as cleaning goes you will get mixed opinions but I really dont like running more the 20-25rds through a rifle without cleaning the barrel. I notice a slight drop in accuracy after this many rounds. [/QUOTE]
