[QUOTE="westexhunt, post: 2394991, member: 71281"] Several years ago I bought two of the savage 12fv 6.5 Creedmoor’s from cabelas. I think they were $249 with rebate. I gave one to my dad and challenged myself to shoot 1000 yds with the other for under $1000 including scope, ammo etc. Goal was consistent first round hits at 1000. I bought an athlon FFP scope on sale for $250-300 and two 200 rnd ammo cans of Hornady 140hp ammo from sportsman’s warehouse for something like $150 a box. Egw 20 moa base and a set of warne rings. I sighted it in, broke it in and worked up dope for 1000. It worked. I don’t know if I was consistent on first round hits but I made plenty of repeated hits on steel at 1000 learned a lot and enjoyed the rifle other than the stock and the blind magazine. I did add a tactical nylon cheek riser thing for like $20-30. All the prices are off memory but they are close. I traded the rifle off and still have some of the ammo. [/QUOTE]
