Hi all,
I have just returned back to Sweden after been living in the UK for one year. I will now start my project to have a gunsmith put together a tactical sniper rifle. I will meet with the gunsmith in the beginning of January so that we could outline what I am looking for.
But I need help to decide on caliber. I have heard much positive about both the 300 WM and 7mm RM, but I can not really decide what to go for. I am looking for a kick ass round for long distance shooting on the range, and occassionally hunting deer....
I am aware that this is not my field of knowledge, but I am working hard to get up to speed and learn as much as I can. Especially as I enjoy shooting and the challenge of handloading and long range shooting.
I am going to base the gun on the new McMillan A-5 stock (ugly for some, but gorgeouse for others) and the Remington 700

Ps, Mel I know that you are a fan of 6,5x55 (Swedish mauser) yesterday I was at range shooting and my best serie did 2,7centimetre from 200 metres...... :lol:
