Running a Savage 10FCP in Choate tactical, Sightron SIII 8-32x56 on top. 15lbs
I am contemplating trading it in on a Long Range Precision in 260rem. This will end up still being 15lbs
My brother works for Federal Cartridge, so I use their rounds, and now that they are coming out with a gold medal round in 260, utilizing 142SMK, I am contemplating making this jump.
Why do it: Target action, Target accutrigger, HS precision stock (though I'd rather have their tactical), and most of all, better ballistics.
Option 2: Send the 308 to GAP, cut to 18", badger FTE.
Ultimately what I'm looking for, a gun I can occasionally take to 1000 yards, often shoot at 600. A gun I will coyote hunt with, I only have 1 rifle, I yote hunt with my 308 now.
So, I would like the ability to hit, say the 6" boiler room zone of a coyote at 600 yards 9/10, 10/10 times. I realize this is on me.
Will my 308 do this, I believe so, will the 260 do it better, I believe so.
Cost to do the mod and to switch guns is pretty damn even.
What say you? Yes, these are the only options I'm looking at currently.
