[QUOTE="PowellSixO, post: 1037326, member: 66495"] I'm wanting to build another rifle this year, and I don't know which route to go. I'm wanting to build a legitimate 1000 yard elk rifle (yep this broken record again :rolleyes:). I want to spend some fairly serious coin on this project, and don't want to make any costly mistakes along the way. In the end I want a rifle that can be used for long range elk hunting, and a rifle I can use to learn how to seriously/accurately shoot out to 1000 yards with (I don't want to be a poser, I actually want to do it :cool:). I've looked for answers to my questions, but can't find the exact answers I'm looking for. I'm hoping you guys can help me out. I'm wanting to shoot the 175gr Nosler Long Range Accubond.

I've already got a 7mm Rem Mag, but want to keep it for deer. So I'm wanting just a little more umph.
