It is the new Marlin X7VH in .308 with 26" heavy barrel and I got it for $425 plus tax. I am now wanting to put some kind of open sights on it so I can use it until I can afford a good long range scope. Does anyone know what the proper magnification would be for 500 to 800 yard shooting?

I have found the one I am going to order. It is a Marlin X7 in .308 with a 26" heavy barrel. It also has an adjustable trigger. I will get a scope for it later.

I have been trying to locate the Howa 1500 varmint 308 but am having a hard time locating one so I may lean back towards the Stevens 200 and upgrade the barrel later.

I'm sorry, I'm new to this and can't recognize this by sight. What is it and how much does it cost?

That would be great if I could get it all together, money wise, but where can I get a Savage 110 for $325. I have checked online and they seem to go for around $550.

That sounds good. I was kind of leaning towards the Howa HWR93202+ 1500 varmint with 24" heavy barrel that I saw online. A nice 6-24X50 scope from ebay would go nicely. I got a 6-24X40 Tasco for my 30-30 and it works good.

How can you tell if it is a quality barrel from the online description? Thanks for all the info.

I have seen a Marlin X7 varmint 24" heavy barrel for $332 at thegunsource.com. I now have so many choices if all these are good deals I just need to look for the best rifle for the money.

I have found what looks great for only $389 at budsgunshop.com. It is a Howa HWR93202+ 1500 varmint with 24" heavy barrel in .308. I have been told that a heavy barrel is what you need to shoot accurate long range 500 to 800 yards. Does this sound like a good deal?

I looked on the CDNN website and downloaded the catalog but I did not see anywhere to look for rifles to order.

I have been hearing some really goods things about the Howa M-1500 varmint heavy barrel. Someone on another thread said you could get it with a 24" heavy barrel for $399 at CDNN. Does that sound right and where is CDNN.

I was also wondering if something in a .270 would be a good choice for 500-800 yard shooting or would that be too expensive.

Geckgo, I will be shooting silhouettes and round targets and eventually be going out to 700 or more yards. I would like to achieve the best MOA possible and from what I have read, here and elsewhere, the shooter has a lot to do with it. I am trying to practice as much as possible but I need some...

The $300 dollar budget is for the rifle. I will decide on a scope later. Do I need the heavy barrel to be accurate to 500 yards? Can upgrade to it later with the stevens?

I would like to find a good rifle that can go 500 yards in .308. My budget is around $300 so I have been looking at the Stevens model 200. Is that a good choice or does anyone know of a better one. I have read that it is better than the Savage Axis, which is supposed to be a cheaper version...
