i have been getting heavly involved in civilian long range matches and some invitational long range sniper matches.....

but i have been borring guns that last few times out.

so here are my choises caliber i am considering....

300 win....338 laupa mag and possibly 408 chev tac


the rifles.....

1...hs precision pro-2000 htr heavy teac rifle in 338 laupa mag or 300 win.

2.... dakota t-76 long bow. 300 win or 338 lm

3 praire gun work alberta timber wolf 338 lm or 408 chev tac.

from what l hear,just bye a $200 Savage slap on a $200 barrel and shoot one
inch groups at 2000 yds.all day long.Besting all the fools that spent $3000
to get a gun that only shoots six inchs at 1000.
sorry could not help my self..
Good luck

JonD,

that's funnier than you think...Savages OWN all of the factory class records, and most of the wins in factory class. With factory barrels and the accu-trigger they easily stay under moa out to 500/600 yards. I've got a 112BVSS 7 mag rechambered to 7STW that holds the X-ring consistently.

i personally think HS Precision is over priced. for the money you spend you could have a complete custom rifle built.

700,
if your ego permits it, why not start on a budget rifle and put the $$$ into glass? Savage 112BVSS in 300WM and a good scope. There are a lot of Savages out there in factory class doing very well.

For Sure! Order a Dakota, see where that get you.

Check out the latest Shooting Times with a Savage heavy 30" barrel that shot a .850" group at 500 yards for only $1200 retail

The 30/378 Weatherby with 200gr SMKs will get ya as far as ya want to go.......and then some.

I second the Army Aviator advice . Savage is an excellent choice . I love my .308 I also like my money !. I'm no fool I'll never be David Tubbs so why buy into the Ferrari circle when I know that I'll be driving my 4 wheel SUV home !!!!!. Some one else said spend it on Glass another Wise decision !. Face facts ; I'm sure I'm not the only one who has bought a High End or Custom weapon and been less than thrilled with it's performance !.
Then feel real stupid for spending that kind of money , when one out of the box wipes your kiester out of the match !.
Besides going to a Real custom stock maker ( not just some show boat grade v wood butcher ) I'm talking about having the coreect new dress put on your out of the box gun is money better spent
