Pretty sure Trenthem range wont allow anything over 8mm btw so 308 or less really. I dont think you can shoot a 338, so 7mm? think thats good to 1600yds? For myself Im thinking howa, t3 or sako A7 in 308 with a 6x scope (so 2k) and then a "real" TR grade 308 gun with a decent scope, (so 2.5k+1.5k=4k) bye bye 6k.

    :/

    not a cheap sport...
    Sako Finnlight or Tikka T3 7 mm Rem Mag
    VX 3 or Mk4 4.5-14
    162g A-Max @ 3050+ fps

    Bush/Med and long range.
