[QUOTE="Pacecount, post: 1676135, member: 93281"] I would use a short action with a 20” - 22” barrel. If you look at BC I would look at the following. 6.5 CM with a 143 gr ELDX... BC of roughly .610 7mm-08 (284 in a 308 case)... if you are shooting the 150 gr ELDX round your BC is .570 ish For the money I don’t think you can beat Sako and Tikka. Both of these rifles are sub MOA and I have seen them shoot the ELDX round well. Cooper makes a solid rifle and I tried their Long Range version but found it hard to get a good cheek weld... I took off their high rail for a lower mount and found the case hitting my scope and getting knocked back into the chamber. also their action is proprietary and tough to find a stock with an adjustable cheek weld.
