[QUOTE="billm67, post: 456106, member: 29756"] I'm going to try to stick to what you asked about....The Remington 700 is a fine rifle and is capable of better shooting than the majority of the people behind the trigger. If you are looking for a reasonable find a 700 sps varmint in 308 and make sure it is the one with a full round profile barrel that is 26 inches long. Throw the stock away and find a McMillan, Manners or even a Bell & Carlson Medalist. Find a good gunsmith and have him recrown the barrel an take off as little as possible. You are going to need the barrel length to keep 175 grain bullets supersonic at 1000 yards. As you progress you can add things like a Jewell trigger and have the a new barrel fitted and have the action blueprinted. 90% of the benchrest/long range rifles are based in some way shape or form on the Remington action and you have to be a pretty good shot before a 700 is hodling you back.
