[QUOTE="SFMongo, post: 2231984, member: 119044"] If you are just varmint shooting at no more than 400 yards (This is just my opinion and has just the value of some guys opinion btw) then the first thing is get the right caliber for the right job, that is the most available and economical for what you're shooting. So I know I'm gonna get beat up on this one but .223 is more common and available and you can get decent and accurate match grade that won't break the bank.. Hell I'd even consider X39 with a Nikon BDC for what you're going for. If you don't like those 6.5 Creedmoor would be my next choice. Plus why not reload. It's not that expensive and the reloading will go a long way towards better accuracy with a decent rifle. Nobody mentioned them as options so here goes ( I think I will get beat up a little). Mauser has the M18 that promises sub MOA and has great reviews and they have different models of the M18 starting at 699$ Howa makes some very good rifles and they have sub 1K$ model with an Oryx Chassis Now for my you must be crazy or plain stupid pick and my personal favorite the good old Ruger American.. it will give you sub moa with a little bit of work in the garage and a good muzzle brake and you can find those brand new for around 500$ Bottom line if you are just starting get a decent gun that you can throw around beat up and use for various things until you get up to the point where you know what you want. I think more important than thinking about is just go ahead and plunge in with both feet and get what you want. All I am saying is get you something that is a good all around gun that you will keep even after you outgrow it. [/QUOTE]
