Chris Kyle used the 300 win mag. But, I'm sure his weapon cost us $10,000 minimum.

So lets just say you pick up a 1/2 to 1 moa gun .... then get out into conditions where temp and elevation are different than you dialed into ? one moa at 1000 ie 10 inches leaves zero room for error in math and compensation and shooter . then pick up a 1/4 moa gun ie 2.50 group at 1000 , huge difference . even at 500 yards with a 3/4 moa gun you will need a whole stack of cheat sheets to get the proper click data for temp and alt. not even factoring in angle which is absolutely critical . If your going to be spending thousands on hunts don't scrimp a grand on your set up  :twocents:

Agree with what others said. Per the ops criteria, the Savage Long range Hunter, in either 7mm, 300 win ., would fill the bill nicely for an out of box shooter with no extra work the to shoot it..lighter then the Sense to, muzzle brake attached, and capable of suprising accuracy. Paired with a decent scope for 800-900, it will save you some" scratch" for more ammo  :)
That Sword is more important than the Shield!
