Remington 700 LR Build Questions

[Andrew`]

Does anyone have experience with this rifle, looking to purchase one chambered in either 300 WM or 30-06, undecided as to which yet.

Would mostly be used for 600 yard shooting, possibly 1000 yards if my range decides to follow through with what is currently an experimental range (the area between the shooting point and the target on the 1000 yard range includes farm plots leased to a company, I think Monsanto)

Quoted from Remington:

Key Features:

- Bell and Carlson M40 tactical stock – solid urethane stock, combined with aramid, graphite and fiberglass
- Aluminum bedding block for added accuracy and an extra swivel for bi-pod
- 26” heavy varmint barrel with matte finish perfectly matched to its high-velocity caliber offerings
- X-Mark Pro® externally adjustable trigger system set at 3½ lbs., and featuring super-tight tolerances and mirror-like surface finishes




I plan to change out the trigger, debating on if the stock is worth keeping.


on another note, does anyone have experience with this scope:
Vortex Viper PST Rifle Scope 30mm Tube 6-24x 50mm Side Focus First Focal Illuminated
MOA or MIL dot

If you are set on a Remington 700, go with a 700 Police for about 200 dollars more and you will have a better stock and better trigger. What you have described as a "build" is just a stock rifle. Is this your first rifle and what made you go with .300WM or 30-06 over others? If its just target shooting only, there are a number of other choices you might want to consider.
