[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 2971793, member: 33119"] I would stay away from the Ruger and Mossberg traditional bolt actions. If you want something you can build up later these don't have after market support. There is nothing you can't buy for a Remington 700 and with after market parts, time and money you can have a fantastic LR tool. Savage and Tikka are good systems as well but don't have as much support as the Remington. Normally I would say run with something in 6.5mm but if your going only to 750 yards l feel the 308 would be better suited. Match ammo is cheep and plentiful, you can shoot thousands and thousands of rounds a year and not shoot the barrel out. Recoil is manageable and you can shoot it further than 750 yards. Once the LR bug has taken deep root, buy your parts find a good smith and build what you want on that 0.473" action. You can chamber 6mm, 6.5mm, 7mm,or 308 depending on what you want to accomplish. A 308 is really hard to beat as a first time trainer. For $1,260 you can get this. The only bad thing is the scope is second focal plain.
