[QUOTE="Kiowa Cowboy, post: 2970669, member: 127211"] I have a Remington 700 5R heavy contoured barrel in 308. It shoots great! Right around a 1/2 inch with several factory loads. No problem going to 1,000 yds. It is about 10 lbs with the scope. I am learning how to read the wind and long shoot with it. I primarily shoot Federal 168 and 175 gold medal match. I do not hunt with it because of the weight. Recoil is not bad because of the weight So far I am pleased with it. IMO you do not need a custom rifle for long-range shooting unless you have money to burn or you are competing. I have never shot a 6.5 CM but I am sure it is great. I don't think you can go wrong with 308 or 6.5 CM. You are wise to stay away from many other calibers as the ammo is expensive and harder to find. [/QUOTE]
