Thanks to all. I am overloaded looking at options etc.
Based on responses, follow up comments and questions.:
1- cps actions any good. That 243 at cabelas is ugly but if it shoots who cares.
2-General opinion is new 40x not what the old are. My old one shoots .25 all day no matter the conditions and when wind drops its better. 223 just doesn't carry the distance.
3-I am not an amature but not pro either. I did shoot for a while at 1000y competition with a 50cal but it got to be to far to drive and too costly. I love my old 40x for out to 300 but north dakota wind just sucks hence my push to 30 cal. I know 6.5 etc are better but it's what I like.
3 - 40x 2250 gone already so rebarrel oport unity gone.
4- 7.62 40x just seems high for old gun though it is of vintage where they were good shooters.
5 savage is ok but can they really compete.
2-General opinion is new 40x not what the old are. My old one shoots .25 all day no matter the conditions and when wind drops its better.
First off, what makes you think a NIB 40X is going to shoot well enough to be called a target rifle?
Remington can't find their a$$ right now, much less build a good product.
Second, I've had a Cabela's card for way more years than I can remember and I've used my points to buy all kinds of merchandise from them online. They have never once said "no you can't use points because blah blah is on sale; they even let me use points to cover shipping costs when applied.
Third, you will need an optic for whatever you get. Use your Cablea's points on a nice NF or such.
Lastly, I don't think Bob at Shooter's Corner takes Cabela's points and that, the way I read it, is the way the OP wants to purchase.
targets don't lie"Remington can't find their a$$ right now"
