[QUOTE="Shoalwater, post: 1180486, member: 65420"] You could always just re-barrel your current rifle with one of the many fine prefits being offered today. Being a short action will limit you somewhat, but a 6.5 Creedmoor would make a great 1000 yard gun and be plenty capable for whitetail and muleys. Bullet choices are endless, with companies like Berger, Hornady, and Matrix all making great longrange hunting bullets. Something like a X-caliber #5, Bartlein #3, Brux #4 type contour would make for a great carry rifle weight but still have good stability. I would probably go with a stock change as well, Manner elite hunter on the high end or a B&C Alaskan on the cheaper side. Scope you choose should be a good fit as well. I would also suggest a 20 MOA base as that scope runs out of adjustment pretty quickly. I can't help on hunting Amarillo, but would like to know what you find out about chasing muleys, as I'm south Texas and would like to the same some day. [/QUOTE]
