Opinion on Long Range Setup

[todbartell]

If you're asking this question, I would get a 6.5 Creedmoor and shoot, shoot, shoot.

I had a 300 Rum built off a sendereo platform, has a 28' krieger barrel and and is wearing a 8x32 Nightforce. I have no problem pushing 190 berger vlds around 3200fps and hitting targets out 1km, haven't tried further and now that I moved from Alberta to BC I'm having a hard time finding long ranges to shoot period. But all said and done it cost quite a bit less then 10k. Not a light gun either.

Nightforce is good scope...had Leupolds all my life now looking for than new Sawrovski get my self some nice set up and get rid of rest
Thanks for imput

That Swarovski dS 5-25x52 is a pretty cool scope, certainly would be neat to give one a go, a little over 1kg for weight, curious about the price in Canada......?

Prove me wrong. You didn't take the bait the first time but I'm really curious what you come up with. You can but a CT edge with swaro for a lot less than 10k too I should add.

Well I have a Titanium R.E.M. 700 7mm at home I paid $2400.00cdn add a barrel and your at $3000.00 + labour, but of course that scope he wants will probably be 10 grand itself in Canada !

Anyone has nay other suggestion in other brands / calibers for 1000 yards ?? I think i am pretty much set on that scope.

I just had a 6.5-284 Norma built on a HVA action with a 26" barrel, I was wanting to put a Leupold VX6 3-18x44 Scope on it, so hopefully I can shoot out a little further !

The scope is $3800 Euros in Europe... around $5850in exchange but who knows when it gets here what is the price...

[selvir]

Iam right with you, Fierce seems like way to go

Sako Av in 7 Stw.... buddy loves it.... old school but it sure smokes them whitetail.

Yeah, the 7mm STW is a very flat shooting round, with the right bullet it will hit the target waaaaay out.
I have the equivalent in 300 cal. both use the 8mm Rem Mag. case.

Hey Selvir, I just received an email from Fierce Rifles as they're having a sale on CT Edge rifles, looks like some very good prices.
