[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1592699, member: 10291"] Another consideration is the Remington 700 Mil-Spec. It’s an off-catogue offering that typically delivers accuracy in the sub-.5MOA range and nicely balanced for LR. Given, you are looking to perfect your LR shooting skills, I would probably go a couple of pounds heavier in barrel weight for the added stability. The Varmint contour on the Milspec, IMO, is a good weight that is not overbearing to carry and handle. It has a well bedded HS Precision stock and would provide a nice platform for a custom barrel upgrade in the future. The only upgrade to consider would be a better trigger. Mine comes in a shade over 13# with a 2# Nighforce scope and steel rings. Shown below is my Milspec banging an old bucket at 1446 yards. My 200gr Hornady ELD-X hand loads produce sub .5MOA 10 1000+ yards.
