[QUOTE="Gone Ballistic, post: 1947141, member: 26477"] Although I joined the 2 mile club shooting my custom 300RUM, I would never recommend this caliber for shooting targets that distance. A rifle in a. 375 Cheytac is far more suited for the job. But, you are going to find out that the rifle you build to shoot 2 miles will probably be the cheapest part of the equipment to enable you to shoot a 2 mile distance because the rangefinder that is adequate to get accurate distance information will cost you more as well as the appropriate load development and testing. Additionally, you better be in great shape unless you have a high butte standing up in a middle of a flat desert. By the way, you'll probably be lugging around 35 lbs or more of rifle and scope plus another 50lbs of equipment. Or, maybe you are more interested in having a rifle capable of shooting 2 miles without actually doing it. Whatever you decide, you are about in the same place in life when I decided to take on the challenge. Good luck with your choice and good shooting! [/QUOTE]
