New here... Need advice.

I truly enjoy shoting my 260 Rem. Wish I had an area to shoot out to 1000yrd.
I'm shooting 5 shot groups at 100yrds. one hole.

I vote for the savage 11 trophy hunter xp in 223. I saw it at buds gun shop (the actual store, not the website) for $459. Comes with a 22" sporter weight 1 in 9" twist barrel. On an 11 action with the accutrigger and a decent ($160) nikon prostaff 3-9x40mm scope with bdc reticle. After a bunch of practice at 1, 2, and 300 yards or so You can later upgrade the optics, and to a heavier barrel with a faster twist for the 70+ grain bullets for the longer range shots.
You may even find it cheaper in your area

pulled the trigger. thank you all so much for the advice. i got the savage 11 w/nikon bdc scope in .308. i decided 308 because i got invited to go on an elk hunting trip later this year. my main goal is still learning long range but figured hanging out with friends and hopefully putting meat in the freezer sounds like a good time. again thank you all. now i need some trigger time. if any of you like near Eugene Oregon id love to go out with people who know what they are doing (and where to go).
