[QUOTE="Bob Metcalf, post: 1306, member: 292"] [b]This & That....A Layman\'s Long Range Rifle?[/b] Hey guys, Here is my situation. 4 kids and paying for there education precludes me now of buying into a custom L/R bench rifle. But I am looking into a "What is the best setup" for long range hunting with ranges of between 700 & 1,000 yards. I'm looking into a factory rifle with some minor tuneups to the rifle. I live out west and hunt Wa, Or, & Az, coues (cows) deer to Wapiti. I want a rifle I can carry (somewhat.) I'm 6'1 and 200# and in pretty good shape and don't mind packing, when I have to. I have a Leupold 8.5x25x50 Target scope with fine crosshairs with QD rings and mounts for a Rem 700 Varmit. This can be changed of course. What Rifle, Cartridge, and bullet recomindations would you have? and any other ideas for this project. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
