[QUOTE="JohnnyReb, post: 1209509, member: 96670"] Hi. I'm new to the forum, and I am just getting into long range hunting. I have wanted to hunt/shoot at long range for a while, but I never had a place where I could hunt anything (mainly deer) beyond about 80 yards, so I had no reason for any long range setup for hunting. I am a decent shot, and routinely shoot my ar-15 out to 400+ yards unsupported. I just got on a hunting lease in another state that has large numbers of deer, and wild hogs on it, also I will have the opportunity to take shots at almost any distance. So now that I have a reason to get a long range rifle setup, I am looking into purchasing a rifle in the near future. I have already decided on getting something chambered in 7 mm Rem Mag, and I want to keep the rifle under $1k (before optics) I really like the looks of the Remington model 700 long range, but I have heard some less than stellar reviews on it. [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywR5yQXHZ3I[/url] I would like to hear some of your experienced opinions on this. Is this my best option? could I spend my money better elsewhere? [/QUOTE]
