I am looking into the realm of mid/long range shooting, out to 1000yds. Just for target shooting/ therapy sessions/ and some deer hunting. I am looking at the Remington 700 5R with a Nightforce 3.5-15 or 5.5-22. What are your opinions of this package for a novice shooter with the desire to work towards precision?

Both are great choices! Neither will let you down.
EDIT: just dont skimp on the rail and rings, buy Seekins rail and rings for that combo and you will be set.

You would recommend those rings vs nightforce rings with 20 MOA built in?

Re: Searching for honest opinions
Go Seekins 20 moa base and whatever rings you need, call him up and he will help you out.
As for the reticle, go with the MLR ret with MRAD knobs, magnification is up to you. I like all the magnification I can have, so I would go with the 22X

Both are great choices. Much better than what I started shooting long distance with.

Thats a great starter stick, now shoot the shit out of it, and build up to wanting a custom, which shouldn't take too long, the addiction comes quick
