I'm getting the McMillan Tac 300.
I have a $11.5k spending limit. I already have the following.
Tac 300
Night force 5.5-22x56 scope the price with both the scope and the rifle is $5,995.00

I need a bi pod
and A LOT of ammo.I'm willing to spend the remainder of the money on ammo and a good bi pod.

5K worth of ammo is a lot of ammo! Truth be told you might want to consider investing in some quality reloading equipment and load your own, as many here you might find it relaxing, enjoyable and a lot of fun. You will also find that you are able to fine tune the perfect load for your rifle which is all so important for LR shooting.

Not sure of your experience level but one thing that would be an excellent investment is training. Sign up for a class at Rifles Only or other quality training facility. They will help get you the basics down and hopefully stop some bad habits before they start. I know the classes that I have taken have paid off big time.

I would learn to reload. LR shooting is expensive if you want to push the envelop of your distance. 300 WM is a good choice. Feed it the right ammo, you can push it quite far. Welcome to your new addiction.
