[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 998639, member: 423"] I'm not a long range shooter yet, but here's my thoughts anyways. get a 308. Ammo is cheaper, and can be bought in bulk/surplus. Since you're shooting mostly stock for now, get a Savage 10, preferably a heavy barrel. rings and mount: put a 1 piece picatinny base. I have seen members use Farrel and EGW off the top of my head. Use either low or med height rings, lot of good options: Leupold, Burris, swfa.com has a set of pic mount rings that are supposed to be decent. Scope: if you are hoping to be able to hunt with it also, I would look hard at something in the 3-9 or 3-10 range. my personal suggestion for a good quality budget scope would be a Bushnell Elite 3200 in either of the above flavors. They can be found for less than $200. All told, the above should be doable under $750. [/QUOTE]
