[QUOTE="StammesOpfer, post: 998588, member: 9298"] Ok 308 or 30-06 both good choices 30-06 has a bigger case so it could be driven faster but it is a long action and in theory at least it might flex more than a short action... 300yards I wouldn't worry about either. If you buy a scope at most local stores they will mount and bore sight it free. In all honesty 300 yards your equipment shouldn't limit you as long as you don't scrape the bottom of the bin for scope and rings. If it was me Grab a Savage or Marlin throw a Bushnell or Nikon scope on it. Get a bi-pod everyone likes Harris if that is too much the cheap winchester one will work just don't abuse it. Then buy some ammo and shoot and shoot and shoot. Start at 50yard get zeroed left to right and then move to 100 and get your elevation in. From there you'll be able to adjust for distance with elevation by using ballistic charts for your round. It's not hard just get out there and it will come. Remember to practice shooting fundamentals so that you can take advantage of your rifle. Just remember this isn't going to be a 1000yard setup as long as you are looking at 300 or so you should be fine. [/QUOTE]
