rabidralph; no offense, but if you can't afford to get a 600-yard target rifle, my advice is to keep saving up until you can.

Most of the cartriges mentioned already will perform adequately, but it is ultimately the rifle that dictates accuracy.

You should strive for a top-quality bolt action that is built for accuracy, and that means custom, not off the shelf.

Then you need to work up the best-performing handload for that particular rifle.

This is assuming that you can do your part, which usually takes considerable practice.

As far as taking a large animal, I don't know why anyone would take a target rifle out in the weather and subject it to casual handling.

Well, this is all a learning experience for me which is why I ask for advice from you all. I don’t handle any of my firearms in a casual manner. I am unsure whether I will be swapping out the stock but I know I may have to upgrade some parts to get what I want. I am working on doing my part.
