[QUOTE="Lone Hunter, post: 1092560, member: 36084"] Don't be in a hurry to buy a rifle. Save your money and get what you want or you will not be satisfied . I've learned this the hard way. Also buy once cry once is a good motto to follow. Put the best scope on your rifle you can afford and if you can't afford a good one wait until you can. I have several .308s and the 168 gr bullet will get you to around 800 before it starts getting unstable. I shoot 165 GK Sierra and probably will only shoot around 500. My FTR Rifle is an 11.25 twist and set up for 175 SMKs. It goes to 1000 easy. Don't think a person should try longe range shots on animals unless they practice a lot. To easy to wound. JMO...For what it is worth... [/QUOTE]
