Weather Vanguard 308 with minute of angle warantee? Range?

[tkdguy]

Given factory match grade 308 ammo with 168 or 150 grain bullets, and a 4 x 16 or 6 x 20 scope, what would one think the effective long distance shooting range would be with this combination? Would taking to gun smith dramatically improve accuracy if additional bedding be preformed? Thanks.

600-1,000 yards, but at those ranges that rifle will outshoot most people who will in turn.... blame the gun.

Can I post this?

What power scope do military snipers use on the 300 winchester mag or 338 Lapua? Or, the Brits when they use the 308? Thanks.

1x per 100y

The rifle will outshoot you so don't throw money at a nonexistent problem.

Any recommendations for match grade ammo? Thinking 150-168 grain against deer, bear, elk?

Every head of Elk I shot under 200 I used 165g and was one shot and dead. At one point was 4 years in a row with a Ruger MKIII 30.06 and a Bushnell 4-12x40 scope so if that doesnt impress upon ya how cheap of equipment you can really get by with............
