I’m putting my version together now. I picked up a Seekins Havak PH2 in 300win and a NF ACTAR 4x16 F2 scope. Even though I love my Sako 7STW, I went with the 300 because of brass availability (I’ve been struggling to find STW brass for too long). I chose the Win flavor over the PRC for similar reasons, and because my son’s, who will inherit my toys, just haven’t been bit by the reloading bug.

Long range means different things for different people. I’m focusing on 200 and 210g bullets because these are more than adequate for the ranges I can imagine shooting given wind and the propensity for animals to move at an inopportune time.

If I find myself wanting to shoot heavies, another barrel or rifle can readily be rationalized. Similarly, if I find myself regularly shooting beyond presently envisioned ranges, a higher magnification scope will be order. Just my 0.02.
