[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 960277, member: 69478"] Well I was looking into buying one of the new Remington 700 Long Range rifles in .30-06, but can't find them anywhere! Remington lists them on their site and I have seen them on GunBroker before but can't find any now. I am thinking of buying an old used Remington 700 ADL or BDL for around $400 and take the factory barrel off and put on a custom. Not sure what caliber I am going to make it since I'm going through all this hassle, doesn't seem like the plain old '06 would be worth it. Want to go with a 26" heavy barrel, I also want it to be a good back-up to my custom .308 Norma Mag, a good long range deer getter, and something that doesn't eat pounds of powder so it is efficient for practice and has good barrel life. I'm still leaning towards a .30-06 though, seems like it does everything I want. Just seeing what your guys' opinions are on this. Thanks [/QUOTE]
