greetings guys,
I am new to long range precision shooting and picked up a new sako trg 22 in 308 earlier this week and took it out for the first time today. The thing is a blast and I can see how you guys are hooked to this sport/game.
A few months from now (if all goes as planned), I may build another gun. I'm pretty sure I would want a gun built around a surgeon action, but I was unsure of the caliber to choose. Apart from 308, what type of round would you guys suggest when shooting 600-1000 yards? I was thinking 300 win mag, but it kicks like a mule and runs through barrels. 338 LM is out of the question because of the price.
I've heard many good things about the .243, .260 rem and the 6.8 SPC.
