[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 83510, member: 2215"] I've been following your project and couldn't help but interject. If you planning on shooting long range it is NOT a good idea to be shooting with no spotter, especially with a lighter weight rifle. Upon recoil you rifle will jump of target and you will probably never get to see where you hit. That is why it is almost imperative to have a spotter. Also you would probably be better off going with a .30 cal with 240's for the distances you plan on shooting. A 300 wthby or a .308 baer with 240's will still have enough energy to effectively kill out to a max range of about 1200 yards. A .30-.378 will be able to stretch even a little farther. This does all depend on length of barrel though. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
