I am branching out into some long range hunting for crows, chucks, and coyotes. My ranges will be legit shots out to 800 yards with most between 400-600. The gun will be built on a short action 308 bolt face so that is where it must start.
I need help coming up with a caliber and scope. My thoughts were maybe a 6.5 Creedmore, 250 Savage AI, or maybe even a straight 308. As for glass I need something that won't cost more than my house payment and be simple and tough.
Give me some ideas.
I had the same idea and went with the Savage 12F 6.5x284 Target rifle and mounted a NF on it. Shots to 800 yds are easily attainable with practise and good reloading technique. You won't have to morgage the house to get it either.
It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.
