BTW what stock are you using? Im planning a build right now and looking for suggestions. So far Im looking at a Manners,H&S Prec and Mcmillian. Hope this helps and good luck to ya.

Coasthunter, I have no complaints about wood at all. If I was in your situation I would go for the snythetic, but be careful that its handlaid and NOT injection molded because these tend to flex . Have you looked at any of the Boyd stock? I have one on a 7/08 that I found on EBAY a while ago. A little bedding and shes a shooter. BTW this one is a laminate, which is very stable but a bit haevier that just wood. Highcountry, your post sums up what Im looking for. Down where I hunt the shots can/are long, but the deer arent in any kind of rush(public ground btw) . I have a 308 set up for these kinds of oppurtiites, but want a better BC than the 308 offers and IMO i know I dont need a super magnum to do it. My deer this you was shot in one of the situations and never moved from his bed. I practice very regularly and am wanting to punch some steel or paper( and coyotes ) at extreme ranges.That is my plan anyhow. Ive also thought of the new Savage F class 6.5/284 but they seem to be in short supply. Sounds like you have the experiance to understand what Im looking at doing, so Ill be picking your brain alot if you dont mind. You have given me alot of sound advice. What is your rifle consist of and howd your build/ ideas start. Thanks, Sage |

sage what action/twist is your 308? that could be a solid 600 yd gun right there. if your 308 will stabilize the bergers you could stretch that gun a long ways out. put it through the lights and figure what range it goes subsonic, back up a few hundred yards and start mapping. the 6.5/284 will impress the heck out of you.....especially with the savage accuracy. |

Highcountry, been alittle busy so sorry I didnt get back to you right away. My 308 is a Howa 1500 supreme varminit, i belive is what they call it, laminated stock,1 in 10 twist, bone stock except for the trigger, I put a rifle basix in it seems decent enough for the money. I got a smokin deal on it from a guy at work and couldnt pass it up. It loves the 168 Fed golds, but I want to try some of the Black Hills stuff, just cant find any around.You ever shoot out at Mica? Ive been told they have gongs out to 600yds but havent been out there yet. Sage |

mica has gongs and sillouttes at 440 and 660 as well as a steel buffalo at 1k. those 168's are ok in the 308 to at least 600, I would want BIG bergers to shoot farther, but I think you are too light on the twist to stabilize them. |
