[QUOTE="James H, post: 158079, member: 5449"] Your current rifle is nearly ideal for what you want to do. My first choice for what you want to do would be either the 7mm STW or 7mm Rem Mag. If you don’t currently reload spend the money on reloading equipment and start reloading. Work up an accurate load for the Weatherby and practice shooting at the intended ranges. That will do more for your long range success than any amount of money you throw at a new custom rifle. The most important part of the equation for long range hunting is practice. If you will be shooting off a bipod, practice shooting with it. If you will be using a rest while hunting, practice shooting with it. Don’t just practice on fair days either you will need to learn how the bullets are effected by adverse conditions (unless you will only hunt in perfect conditions [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]).
