Hi all. I am getting interested in what is for me long range shooting. I live in the east so that is not the easiest thing to do. Currently I have access to 400 yard range and 6-1000 yard is not a horrible drive if I get into this. I am not looking to spend a ton of money or build an F Class rig, but would like a good rifle that can reach out there. Once I decide on caliber then I find the best bolt rifle for it I suppose. The reason I ask this is I do have some recoil sensitivity. I really can't take my old man's 700 in .30/06 for more than a dozen shots probably, but have no problem shooting my son's .243. Mostly I am looking for flat trajectory with a balance of a little heft for wind and light recoil. I have other rifles for hunting and will likely set up a heavier one than your typical sporter for this. I am set up to reload, but also want something a little common that I can find if I have to. Can of worms?
