[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 576938, member: 3733"] Nothing about LRH is cheap, A guy might get real lucky and buy a factory gun that shoots factory ammo really well. But then he needs to practice alot which means shooting alot of ammo, that is why 98% of us who are serious about this handload. That requires spending more money on equipment, which if you continue shooting alot will pay for it self. The problem is most hunters are not dedicated enough to get really good at any of it. If I was a newbe and on a non custom rifle budget, this is how I would go about it today. I would try to be real proficent out to say 400 yards, and would buy a factory gun with a reputation of holding 1 moa; TC Icon, Weatherby Vangaurd sub-moa, tikka t-3. Howa 1500. Most any cartrige would work, 308, 30-06, 7 RM, 270, 300wm, any WSM. (I really like the T-3) Then I would start to handload because it's the best way to get a good gun to shoot really well. I would have the trigger worked over and the gun bedded and floated, (if it's possible via stock material ect.) I would spend good money on great rings and bases and mid range money on a decent scope; Nikon Monarch, vortex pst, bushnel elite, vx-3. somthing that had resetable turrets. Get a harris bipod, a rear bag. By year 2 I would try and get to 500 yards. extending my capabilities little by little each year. At some point you may need to then upgrade to a larger magnum with a muzzle brake in a semi or full custom, as you need to increase down range energy and reduce wind drift. [/QUOTE]
