[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1008025, member: 52437"] well for 600-700 yard shots you will want the most accurate rifle you can get. The kill zone on a deer is say..8-10inches. Now let's pretend your rifle is shooting 1MOA...this translates to a 7inch group at 700 yards with out any shooter error involved. Some guys are ok with this because their shooting skills are amazing. I am not the best shooter so striving for anything sub MOA is best. Id say you should look into the savage long range hunter OR savage HS precision. The long range hunter comes with the accu trigger and accustock with an adjustable cheak piece and a muzzle brake that works well. The savage HS precision is more expensive but also comes with a better stock that if you have bedded by a good gunsmith should shoot amazing. If on a budget, get the long range hunter, they shoot amazingly well too. The weather warrior series will get you to 600-700 as well but when you are shooting prone to 700 yards you will definitely want a nice stable platform which a Savage 110 FCP HS precision bedded by a good smith will be. For me it all depends on your hunting. If you will mostly be hunting under 300 yards with maybe a chance at further distances go for a lighter weight weathor warrior...if most your shots will be greater than 500 yards I would want a heavier stable gun with a nice bi-pod.
