So your suggestion would be what Jerry Teo did in his savage tactical project and upgrade to a shilen barrel and that's it?

I'm eventually going to get into reloading but being only 16 money is tight so I'm going to get into rifle shooting then pick up reloading.

Thanks for the reply, and I made a mistake, I'm not limited to 1000 but probably about 2000 for everything.

I want to get into coyote hunting but a need a rifle first. I am pretty set on the .243 and would like to stay away from the AI's because I don't have the money to buy reloading equipment. 1)What manufacturer would you suggest? and why? 2)Is the .243 a good caliber to shoot under 600...

Matt, I had the same problem of trying to decide which gun to buy. I went with the maxus and haven't regretted it yet. I tested it out with the lights loads to the heaviest loads and the recoil was minimum in all. It cycles great and is nice to carry if you have to walk a ways into a pond or...

For anyone in northern lower Michigan the alpena and the wurtsmith ranges both have a 600 yard range. The one at wurtsmith won't be open until the spring and they also hold f-class matches there at their 300 yard range. It's a real nice range with an affordable price to shoot, only $6 a...

Ben thanks for the offer but I don't have the money right now just acquiring information, I might buy a rifle in the spring. Also what base and rings would you guys suggest? -Aaron

Mikebob how do you like the 6500? I like how it is a 4-30 and the price is nice also. -Aaron

Thanks for the replies, do you guys think 2500 is a reasonable budget for a complete rifle and reloading equipment? -Aaron

Unfortunately it is about 1000 but I would prefer about 800 or so. I have 2500 so with about 1000 in the rifle that leaves me with 1500 for optics and relapsing equipment along with the other necessities. -Aaron

The only problem is is that I'm a student so I have a budget do you have any other suggestions for a little bit cheaper scope? -Aaron

I'm thinking about getting a .308 and was wondering what scope manufacturer and what magnification level? I will be shooting up to about 1000 yards. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -Aaron

I have done some more research and was wondering what your guys opinion was on the savage model 11 long range?

Thanks for the replies.

I have decided to add a new rifle to the arsenal. I want to build a .308 but I have a budget off about $1000 for the rifle, what would you guys suggest to buy? Any and all suggestions are appreciated.
