[QUOTE="Jimm, post: 210893, member: 9"] "I have noticed that the Remington model 700 looks to be a very high quality model?" I cut and pasted that last bit of your post in order to preface my reply . I am not realllly sure where to start but here goes ....... The "Remington 700 " is a good platform on which to build a 1000yd capable rifle . Please notice that I said " build " . Even though I am sure that one might find a factory 700 rifle that is / has the right stuff , the odds are against it happening. I must point out that I am automatically including the necessity of handloading for that rifle to reach that potential . If your goal is to have a 1000 yd capable rifle you should definitely consider having a custom rifle built . There are many competent smiths here on this website that can accomplish this for you . The Remington 700 action can certainly be used to that end . As far as caliber choice I am like Dakor , its strictly personal preference between the 300 winnie and the 7 mmRem mag as they are both equally capable . I , personally , am a fan of the ancient , yet revered , 300 Winchester magnum . Many good bullets out there for it and it is capable of 1/3 moa or better with proper handloading . However , one could say the same for the 7mm Remington magnum . jimmba Do you reload ? What is your current experience level ? [/QUOTE]
