My favorite bangstick is a Winchester Model 70 Sporter XTR in .30-06. I also like the .243 because it has low recoil, shoots pretty flat and the deer in California are somewhat small.

Being that I don't reload and I am willing to buy decent ammo I am content getting 1.5 MOA accuracy with my rifles. I don't really like large objective variable power scopes and prefer using a 4X or 6X instead. MPBR with a 150gr projectile going 2900fps is about 285 yards so I don't think I would shoot any further than that.

I am most comfortable in the sitting position with both elbows resting on the knees. Other positions include standing with the right arm straight out parallel to the ground and the left arm supported on the chest. Prone supported is good too but you get dirty and see a lot less from down there.

The first thing I do with a new or used rifle is take it to the range. If it shoots decent I might not do anything. I usually then set the trigger at 4 pounds and sometimes bed the action or float the barrel.

I don't hand load because I just don't really shoot enough and as I stated earlier some of the factory ammo available is actually pretty good.
