[QUOTE="adam, post: 340655, member: 9382"] I wouldn't recommend that 770 to anyone but my worst enemy. The samples i handled and saw ran 100% failure to feed. The bolt was so sloppy that it would bind and sometimes override the cartridge. For what its worth, they seemed to shoot ok, but ugh?? For budget shooting, get a Savage. When you outgrow it, it will serve as a good platform to customize. Below is a great article in the tech forums with practicable advice. [url=http://www.longrangehunting.com/articles/long-range-rig.php]Long Range Hunting Rifle On A Budget[/url] 7mm rem mag will do it. So will the Berger. For a newbie, you are splitting hairs looking at BC that closely. BC is just a guage to compare one bullet to another and needs real world verification. Go forth and shoot.... a lot.....with whatever quality bullet you choose. When you get to 5-600 yds consistently, then look at changing bullets. [/QUOTE]
