I’m sure this has been posted so many times but I am in search of a new long range rifle and my biggest problem is, I know nothing about long range rifles, I’ve always been more of an archery and Muzz with the occasional average range rifle hunting. I am willing to spend plenty but not overspend when I can get just as good for a cheaper price. With that said what brands should I be looking at most and what caliber for a do it all type of rifle for elk, deer, antelope, etc. I do not have reloading supplies right now I hope to get in to that soon but just factory ammo for now
I’m a big fan of the REM 7 MM Mag , 24 “ barrel, with a great muzzle brake too, & a 6 X- 18 X Variable power Burris Scope & a Harris Bipod attached to fore end of rifle.
Also, the Ruger M 77 Rifle in 7 MM Mag with the add ons I described above. Fabulous rifles !
A true bolt of lightning!
I’ve used these 2 rifles for many years on all sorts of game from Texas to Alaska & Canada ??. Standard loads always is/was max loaded
hand loads with 140-150-160 Nosler Partitions.
Fabulous killers ! Never a problem. Trust my life on these rifles & loads. Just sight in your rifle for 3” high at 100 yards, then it hits 4” high at 200 yards, -2” at 300 yards, -12 inches at 400 yards.
Also, get an expert gunsmith to adjust the trigger pulls to 1 1/2 pounds let off- that’s all, no more !
Great for expert shots / kills on any target ?.
This is a combination that never fails- when you hit the target. Have fun !
Good Hunting & Best Wishes,
