[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1156948, member: 74902"] Nothing wrong with setting up an out of the box long range rig, buying some ammo and going out and having fun to see if you like it. A 1/2 MOA rifle with factory ammo is not that easy though. LR takes lots of practice and bullets down range. So doesn't take long for reloading to start paying for itself. Plus the more you try to build on your LR abilities you will soon learn the reloading is essential to LR precision. If you want a good out of the box rig AND factory ammo to get started. There is probably NO better choice than a Savage LRP rifle in 6.5 Creedmoor. If there was an off the shelf rifle and factory ammo that would consistently do 1/2 MOA, it would be this combo. This is not a 1K elk rifle obviously, but is a very accurate LR setup for target/deer/etc. Hornady makes very good match grade ammo at a reasonable price for the 6.5 Creed. Save the brass and when you are ready to start reloading, you got a pile of brass ready. Good Luck. It is both addictive and fun. [/QUOTE]
