    New guy from NC/VA

    I would suggest going to 300 win . Shots tend to me further out west at least in my hunting. In the 300 win would suggest 200 gr Hornady eld bullet has worked great for me. I tend to use swarovski scopes but really like leopold 3.5 x18 with red dot reticle.

    Seeking Advice on Long-Range, General-Use Binos:

    You say long range hunting . What do you plan to range with? The more power you have the better you can see in shadows. Thats where that big buck is going to lay. I would suggest you take a good light weight spotting scope or 15 power binos. You will be surprised how much more game you will see...

    Mountain Gun build - What would you do different?

    I had Lex Webernck build me a 4.5 lb rifle then added Talley rings and bases 30 oz scope . Mountain hunting I have found my back pack works best as rest.

    7mm-08 or 6.5

    I have the model 7 in 7mm08 and 65 cr I prefer the Creedmoor . When shooting recoil is less important than loud noise.Have her put in ear plugs then good set of hearing protection . By cutting noise kids will shoot much better. I have gone one step further and use silencer on my rifles.
