I've always thought a 7mag shooting a 139gr bullet would be a great long range set-up. It is, that is what I shoot. Savage 111 w/ Hornady SST 139 grain. I know its overkill, but I like to pick a hair out and hit it. I'm not interested in a kill zone. My most productive spot offers shots up to 540 yards every time out. Only two bucks I've killed this year so far were at 280 and 336. But with most any rifle and good scope, if you know the ballistics for your chosen round and know where your zero is for your chosen scope, you are golden.

168s and 180 bergers out of a 7mm are hard to beat. The 610 bc of the 168s and the .659 BC of the 180s buck the wind very well! yep
keep it down home cuz

If I was going to buy a long range rifle off the shelf it would be a Remington Sendero in 7mm Rem Mag or 300 Winchester Mag.

3-400 yards you can do it with just about any deer rifle. 3-600 yards I'd use a flatter shooting magnum of some type with good optics.
I've spent most of the money I've made in my lifetime on hunting and fishing. The rest I just wasted.....

Its about like a 50 BMG. My gunsmith built one for a guy and I got to shoot it 7 times! A 25 lbs rifle WITH a good break, its easy to shoot. We shot rocks at 2200 yards and you could see impact with 330 Leigh - High bullets. As far as recoil it more of a = push, than a quick recoil. Like a 20 gauge shotgun i would say

375 Cheytec is for kids.
14.5mm is the "best" hands down. Just... it takes 3 Hadji to carry the one the Iranian's gave them. Or the Soviet one they dug up from WW2.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
