[QUOTE="barreltwister, post: 511038, member: 14826"] Last year I came across an interesting Rem 700 in 7 Rem Mag. It's an ADL/FS, has a grey painted factory installed Brown Precision stock. This thing is VERY accurate with a 150 gr Ballistic Tip and 63 grs of H4350 at 3100 fps. I shot it on paper last October and again today. Five groups of three shots each at 100 meters(109 yards) averaged .688, smallest group was .470 Five groups of three shots each at 200 meters(218 yards) averaged 1.566, smallest group was 1.280 Seven groups of three shots each at 300 meters(327 yards) averaged 2.18 Smallest group at 300 meters was 1.08", two more were under 2", largest was 3.09 This is the factory 24" sporter barrel with a 4.5-14X Leupold on top in Talley LW rings and a Timney trigger. Weighs 8lbs even. How do you think this load would hold up at say,...600 yards? I don't have a longer range that I can access just yet but I'd like to take it out further. [/QUOTE]
