I'm looking to purchase my first bolt action for shooting at "longer distance". As of now, I shoot out to 200 yards at Douglas Ridge but would like to start shooting at the 600, 800, and eventually 1,000 yard ranges. I'm looking into a rifle and optic capable of these distances, likely in 6.5CM. As for budget, I'm hoping to keep the optic around $800 and rifle in the same range or slightly cheaper. Had my eye on the Vortex PST gen2 5-25 and a Savage 110 Tactical. Threaded barrel is a must, I will have a silencer I can use if I choose. Talk me in or out of these options.
This will not be used as a hunting rifle, just a paper puncher.
