i am new to long range so i would not impress anyone. probably start aroun 200 yards with the ability to get longer.

i would like to be able to find ammo fairly easily

[dee]

.308 is easier and cheaper to get ammo for

[bobbaganoosh]

Remington 700 or Savage 110 in .308 or .30-06. The Savage can be had pretty cheap, and is a great gun (remington is too but cost a little more). Both have an assload of parts available to upgrade as your budget allows. You can buy a Stevens (which is a lower line Savage) and build a good rifle off of it.

.22

[lilvega]

.338 win mag.
ammo avail at walmart.
it will reach out and touch.
not as flat as .308, but has more energy and can take bigger game at distance.

[davbrucas]

ERMA SR100 in .338 Lapua...

[360 Notch]

[momo stallion]

any opinions on a ruger mk 77 chambered in a remington 260? has a burris scope.

saw one on consignment for what i thought was a good deal.

[bronco71]

.260 ????? or .280.....

ruger 77 is a good rifle and burris scope is ok too.

depends on the deal, 260 is a good deer cartridge. M77 are good rifles, burris pretty good also.

[0 GT 2]

.270 is a better long range gun than the ones mentioned above.

[jtm98snake]

Do you plan on using this to hunt or to shoot competition? Are you designating this rifle for 4 legged game or will it be 2 legged thin skinned game with ceramic trauma plates? If it's for the later, I'd probably go with a Rem 700 Sendero in .300 winmag. Or a 700 PSS if you can find it. I also like the Winchester model 70 LAredo. the .300 winmag should take down any game on the North American continent(that being 4 legged and 2 legged) but .308 isn't a bad choice in any of those rifles. :D

Remington 700 in .308, 30-06 or 300 win mag. Endless possiblitys for upgrades, very accurate out of the box, and you can get those rounds anywhere in time of "need" :) .308 and 30-06 for 100-600 yards, 300 win mag for the longer shots

[Cmarsh93z]

If you can find a heavy barrel 700 in any of the above calibers ...all you need is a good trigger and some handloads worked up for your rifle. It will EASILY shoot under .5 moa if you do your part. My 300 Win Mag Pss has a worked stock trigger, leopold scope and really nice handloads...ragged 1 hole groups all day long at 100.

[D1TKO]

Remington Sendero 308 <bullbarrel>

[Cmarsh93z]

Remington Sendero 308 <bullbarrel>

Excellent choice. My buddy has a Sendero in 7stw. Thats another caliber I would like to play with

[Falcongunner]

Best bang for the buck is the Savage 10/110. In .308 .

if you want it for hunting and are going to be walking much you don't want a heavy barrel; they are fine for stand hunting but are way too heavy if you move around much or go hunting in a mountainous area. the extra accuracy of the heavy barrel is no good if you can't hold it steady....

thats why my remington 700 has a 20" bull barrel cuts down big time on the weight,.

[Trip McNeely]

Damn Im surprised no one has said an FN FAL yet. Thats one of the first I would think of.

(whistles innocently) whichever :p

i dont currently hunt but i wouldn't mind getting back into it. i went a few times when i was younger but after my grandfather passed i didnt have anyone else to really teach me anything about it.

[ScottsMach03]

Winchester m70 30-06......

[bronco71]

well the 6.5 grendal or 6.8 spc may be a bit too exotic since you pretty much have to reload for them or spend a fortune on ammo.
I would pick the .300 whisper for the two-legged game, hehe...

I've been wanting an FN SPR in .300wsm lately. Model 70 > Model 700, IMO

Keep checking with CDDN investments. They get in the barreled actions fairly often and have the cheapest price around.
