My go to long range rifle is a cheap ugly old Savage 110 in 7mmWSM mounted in a Boyd thumb hole laminated stock and topped with a Leupold 4x12. I would not hesitate to take 600yd shots from a good solid rest. Hand loads of course using Barnes TSX 140gr. Longest deer kill to date is 435yds lasered.

Here you go........best bang for the buck in a factory precision rifle, IMO...........
The Savage Arms Model 12 Long Range Precision will allow you to shrink your groups while expanding your reach. The Model 12 Long Range Precision rifle begins it's life as
Savage Model 12 Long Range Precision, in stock at Bud's Gunshop for $972 with free shipping, available in both .260 and 6.5 Creedmore (which would be my choice). Add good glass and have fun. Hunted pronghorns with a guy that had one of these in 6.5 Creedmore back in October, he had a Vortex 6-20 Viper FFP scope on it, and had no trouble taking a goat at over 500 yards with it.

rem 700 5r mil spec 308....mine shoots 1/4" groups at 100 yards right out of the box....Well that’s with hand loads but stock rifle. It shoots 1/2 moa out to 500 yards pretty easy. I've taken it out to 750 yards once and it shot right at 7" 5 shot group. That was just off a bipod....no sand bags or anything special.

I was agreeing with you lol. I quit reading after your said savage

I looked at the benchrest site, says the list was updated May2013. Dont know how accurate it would be or if thats just a mistake.
Im back to researching calibers again. I will be hunting with this some, prolly not further than 500 yds. But will use it to bang steel out further if possible. Im considering the .243 now, it is comparable to a few of those calibers I am already considering. I alreadyreload for .243 but just for deer and varmints and current rifle doesnt have enough twist.
