I was going to do a .300WM build but the more I think about it I think I'm just going to go with the .338 Lapua.
My shortest planned distance for this rifle will be 600 to 700 yards and out to 1500 yards or further as I progess with it.
This is the combo I'm considering.
Sako Trg-42
SPUHR 30mm 24moa Mount
The decision I'm having the hardest time with is the scope. I want at least a 25X scope but since I'm not shooting closer then 600 yards and it's going to be more of a long distance tool, is there any reason I should not consider the 12-42 NF. I also have no experience with NF other then playing with them at the gun shop. I've also only been able to look through the 5.5X25.
The specific NF I'm looking at is the Nightforce NXS 12-42x56 1/4 MOA NP-R1 C331 from http://www.eurooptic.com/nightforce-nxs-12-42x56-25-moa-np-r1-c331.aspx I've decided the $2000.00 is going to be my max budget.
So what do you all think, any thing I should change? If so please explain and offer your experiences.
Thanks
