"Long Range" toys

[Orange_R]

.308, .300 win mag, 6.5 Credmore are all good choices.  

I'm looking at .338 Lapua mag or .300 win mag.  Just want a little more push than my M1A (7.62/.308).

.338 Lapua was Gibbs round of choice...

I just started doing some research on caliber, actions, barrels, etc.  I will post up some interesting things I find. 

Thanks for the input folks. I appreciate it.

just remember you will spend atleast 1500 for a scope to start out with .

Howa makes a good gun too worth taking a look at imo .308 is good but a 300 win mag is nice.Reloading will lower cost but still may be in buck range for 300mag i think its around there for a good load depending on bullets used.

An ar platform can be done cheap and have good results as well easy 400-600 yard rifle with heavier bullets

My MK12 Mod1 clone.  Good to 700 meters (probably not by me) Obviously need a better scope.  But still functional on the MUCH more likely shorter distances when it all goes to hell.

Copper Creek Cartridge is a good source for some good ammo... they sell load development packs to see what your gun likes to eat.

This thread is a reminder that I know nothing about hitting long distance. I Need to step up.

Just set this up as a backup gun for my upcoming elk hunt

I started off with a Howa 1500 chambered in 6.5 CM in a rubberized Hogue stock for about $500.  It was easily capable of hitting out to 1000yds.  After I decided I enjoyed the long range experience I upgraded it with a MDT chassis.  The scope is a Vortex Strike Eagle 5x25.  I've also added an area 419 brake.
