I want to jump in the "long range" rhelm of hunting/shooting. Next year I'll be building a rifle (having a 'smith assemble the parts that I throw together) with the help and advice of a close friend. So far I'm leaning towards a 338-378 Weatherby. I've heard the 30-378 is another excellent option but is barrel life is limited when compared to the 33-378.
For scope I'm thinking about Leupold Mk-4 8-25x50 front focal. Can't decide on mil dot or tacical milling reticle.
Any toughts?
1. Is the caliber good for say, 1000 yard shooting?
2. Scope choice OK?
3. Action?
4. Stock?
5. Trigger?
6. Muzzle break?
7. Bases?
Thanks ahead of time for any inputs.
