Welcome to the Hide.
The first question is do you plan on reloading for this long range shooting adventure?
Rem 700 is a great place to build from.
.308 is a great cartridge with lots of match grade ammo for sale.
These are some good cartridges.
Do some research on them.
260 Rem w/142 Sierra Matchking or 139 Lapua Scenar
6xc With a 115gr DTAC
7mm WSM 168 or 180 Bergers
7mm SAUM 168 or 180 Bergers

Re: Rem 700??
I will be reloading. They have so many 700s at gander mtn and shooters. What size barrel and what model should I look for. I want it to shoot good out of the box but I will be gradually changing things for the better.

Re: Rem 700??
What kind of budget do you have? Around $600 you can get a SPS-V or Tac and if you got some spare change in upwards of a $1000 look for the XCR or Sendero. I would recommend anything from a 20inch up to a 26inch barrel. Ultimately, I like a 22 or 24inch barrel.
Do not, I repeat, DO NOT get the trianguler barrel. Any heavy barreled action and preferably fluted. Dont count out Savage either.
