[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3310641, member: 33119"] How small of metallic silhouettes are you wanting to shoot between 200-500 meters? Just about any bolt action rifle will handle that duty. I have a Tikka T3 CTR in 260 Rem. as my training rifle and it will shoot very small groups. It's well supported with aftermarket parts and several barrel manufacturers make prefit barrels for them if that's what you want to do later on. You can swap out the bolt handle easy, add a Yodave trigger spring and get the trigger pull down into the 1lb range safely. The action is butter smooth and numerous outfits make stocks/chassis for them. Gene Sears has several of them in stock: [URL]https://store.thirdgenerationshootingsupply.com/catalog/product/view/id/22885/s/tikka-t3x-ctr-6-5-cm-20-bbl-10-rnd-mag-5-8x24-tikjrtxc382/category/8968/[/URL] Their only downfall is, their barrels shoot a little slower than outer rifles and they have long throats. I wish I would have gone with the 24" barrel rather than the 20", although I can still get out to 1200 yards with a 20" barrel. This is the one I bought: [URL]https://store.thirdgenerationshootingsupply.com/catalog/product/view/id/22867/s/tikka-t3-ctr-260-rem-20-bbl-10-rnd-mag-5-8x24-tikjrtc321/category/10393/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
