[QUOTE="Inukshuk, post: 162778, member: 3434"] This may not be the best for long range, but it's what I'm getting soon. Tikka t3 camo stainless in .223, 1:8 twist. Have my gunsmith fill the stock with foam, add a picatinny rail, trigger to 3 lbs, maybe a Holand muzzle brake, fine tune it, then add a 6-24mm scope with mildot for ranging. I don't use a lazer RF. Now why? Factory ammo from 40-80gr lots of options there, plus you can get it in bulk of 500 rounds a case. Longer barrel life. Once I burn out the barrel I'll put one a bit longer and a 1-2 size bigger unless I'm happy with the present set-up that's coming. With the .223 like this you can get out to 1,000 yrds no problem, as for a kill well probably 500-700 yrds. with a heavy bullet. Oh and ammo is very inexpensive which is good especially if you like to shoot a lot like myself. It can vary from $8.00-$25.00 a box. [/QUOTE]
