as some people know i want to get better into long range shooting and my rifle just wont cut it. This rifle will be used out too 800 yards. I currently own a browning a-bolt 300. wsm and love the caliber and the gun is the perfect little hunting rifle but not meant for long range. I also own a 7mm rem mag 700 BDL which also makes a great little hunting rifle with great potential to be a long range killer so i was thinking if i let the 300. wsm go i could pick up a savage model 12 VLP 300. wsm for a decent price and it should be good out too 800 yards. Most every gunsmith will work on savage and it also has great aftermarket parts and serious potential were browning does not. This rifle will be used as a long range hunter but mainly targets. What is everyones thoughts on the model 12 VLP.
i was thinking of a Sendero 300. win mag as well but the barrel life on a wsm is better for targets. My other option was keep the wsm and use the 7mm as a base action for a custom and turn it into a win mag. But it will cost a decent amount more.
