[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 850058, member: 880"] Before you dump money into something figure out if your even gonna like the LR stuff! I know a few guys that were all gung ho about it to figure out wind dopes would drive them crazy so they dropped LR. The 06 is pretty much the same thing as the 308 UNTIL you get over that 180gr. bullet weight so what you have get out there and shoot! you'll figure out if you like it or not and yes a pencil barrel and 3-9 scope will work, it'll heat up and you'll have to give it a rest more so than a heavy barrel but so what if you don't shoot those targets or steel plates they ain't gonna get ya :-) You will figure out what you need by shooting others stuff and things that make life easier like ranging reticules, bi-pods, stocks that just feel good to you, etc. etc. in the end you can have $7000 tied up in a rifle that shoots lights out but if you can't figure out range and wind dopes what does it matter you ain't gonna hit with it! here's something to think about, shooting long range is simple,hitting at long range is the hard part! Look up Badlands on the internet, Bobby is down in Grandfield he has out to 1K and can help you out like you'd not believe and will more than likely let ya shoot if you talk nice.
