[QUOTE="rocknwell, post: 523968, member: 35199"] thank you for the reply. yesterday i decided that i think i'd rather go 7mm rem mag just because rem mag is easier to buy than -08 and it has a slightly better ballistics calculation (at least according to some sources). i have read that Remington has declined in their out of the box accuracy/dependability, but it's hit or miss. i will definitely take your advice on not getting the BDC. i have been looking at Mil/MOA reticles and i like what i see with those and how those would reall help give me a solid foundation on shooting longer range than a BDC would. as for reloading, i have NO IDEA how to do it or where to get started. i want to get in to reloading though. as for going .308 vs 7mm, to be honest, on paper 7mm seems like the better choice ballistically. with that said, i am deployed so i won't be able to get my hands on any rifles for 3 more weeks. so i have no way of knowing if a Rem 700 will even fit me and all those other important factors that go in to purchasing the "right rifle". i will definitely keep my mind open about that though and i thank you for your insight! can you point me in the right direction on learning how to reload?
