[QUOTE="Gunmonkey, post: 1009691, member: 85352"] Looking at the M700 Long Range in 7mm Rem Mag. It seems like it would make an excellent deer rifle out to 400 yards (about as far as the field of view from my stand). I like the heavy 26" barrel to tame the recoil, as well as its other accuracy features. But, the most appealing feature is the price. For $829.00 msrp on Remington's website, it sounds like a good deal. Weight is no problem, since it is a short walk to my ladder stand on the edge of a farm field. I really don't like the noise and powder consumption of the 7mm mag, but there is no denying its long-range lethality. I also prefer a bullet that carries enough energy/momentum down range to pass through the deer. I need it to put him down quickly with as much bleeding as possible to help track him through the thick cover surrounding the field. I have read good reviews on the Vortex Scopes, and am considering the Viper 3.5X10X50 dead hold BDC. Rings and mounts? I have no idea. Help! I have been out of hunting and shooting for several years and don't know what the best products are. I joined this forum in the hope of getting input from shooters who are more up-to-date on what's available at a good price. I have a very good understanding of shooting, rifles and ballistics, so don't worry that you may be talking over my head. But, also, I am no expert by any stretch of the imagination. In summary; I want rifle that will shoot accurately out to 400 yards without much fuss, and if not drop a buck where he stands, at least cause enough havoc to easily track his blood trail through thick brush. All for a price of <$1500 for the total package. I invite all opinions...That's the reason I joined this forum and wrote such a long thread. I also hand load my own cartridges, so if you have a pet load, I'd be glad to hear it. [/QUOTE]
