My username is "Newbie" but I have been around competitive shooting for about a decade. I am pretty close to being distinguished in smallbore and I have a couple of points in highpower. The reason I bring this up is only to point out that I am not completely new to the sport, so when you (hopefully) give me some advice you dont have to start from square one.
I am currently a smallbore shooter and I am looking to ease my way into some highpower longrange shooting.
My questions are:
1: Will an "off the shelf" Remington 40-XB keep up with the purpose-built custom rifles on the 1000yd line?
2: Which of these calibers would you most likely recommend?
7mm STW
7mm Rem. Ultra Mag
300 Rem. Ultra Mag
300 Win. Mag
25-06 Rem. ?????
These are chamberings that Remington offers in the 40-XB. If a custom rifle is a must, then my options open up a bit.
Alright guys, do what you do best. Throw your opinions at me and dont hold back!
