I took my new (new to me) 1995 model R700 varmint synthetic out for its first range day Monday and I could not be happier. I got the rifle set up properly with a Vortex PST gen2 and zeroed with Federal GM Match 168grn. Shot at distances between 300 and 1000 yards. 300-800 had hits on target without missing a shot. I used my dope sheet from my other R700 ADL and just tweaked it a little. We were lucky to have very minimal wind that day. Once at 1000, I ran the math on a ballistic calculator and had impact on a steel torso within 3 rounds. I’m very impressed with this rifle and I believe it’s one of the best $800 investments I’ve ever made.
