    Hi Jonas, sounds like a nice rig.
    I too don't shoot much past 300 mtr mostly due to lack of opportunity. Most of my shooting is north island farm, bush edge or bush. I have taken a couple of goats at 450 but recovery becomes an issues as well. ie if I can't get closer then I can't recover them either.

    I have a custom 700 clone in 243 shooting 105-108gr at 3000 fps that gives 1000 ftlb of energy to past 500 mtr wearing a nikon monarch 4-16.
    But my current favorite is my savage 99 in 358 win 20" barrel shooting 225 gr BT at 2450. It's good to 300 mtr but starts dropping like a stone much past this distance. Wears a Nikon Monarch 1-4x20 but may upgrade to a second hand euro 1.5-6. I'm enjoying shooting this rig as it make me look good. ie I can shoot it way better than anyone expects it to.
    My 243 on the other hand out shoots my ability/ level of practice and makes me look bad. (hehehe
