[QUOTE="barreltwister, post: 253673, member: 14826"] OK...I want to try and shoot out to about 500 yards...that's far enough for me...for now. I have a Sako 75 stainless in 6.5 Swede with a 22-7/16 barrel with an 8" twist and a 4-16 Elite 4200 scope in a McMillan stock. It weighs 9lbs 6 ounces It shoots 140 AMax's and 130 Accubonds into about 3/4" for three shots at 100 yards with a few groups with each bullet down around the half inch mark. I haven't run any over the chrony yet and I haven't had the oppourtunity to shoot it past 200 yards yet, where it shot about 1-1/4" to 1-1/2" Can it be a serious "long range rifle"?...to 500 yards?
