As you can gather from the title, I am thinking about jumping into the precision rifle group.
I am fairly new to guns, just picking up handguns 2 ½ years ago, and I bought my first rifle (AR-15) about 6 months ago. I enjoy shooting IPSC and Tactical 3 gun. I am thinking I might also enjoy some precision long range stuff.
My home range is 300 meters, so the majority (99%) of this gun’s use would be within that range. If I acquire it, I do plan to take a 3 day precision rifle course, and that range will be out to 1,000 yards. But that will be the exception because that range and the 600 yard range are about 2 hours from me, so they would be rarely visited.
I am not a hunter and never plan to be, so this is just a paper puncher / gong ringer.
Since I am still new to this, just wanted to check in and see your thoughts on what I am thinking about picking up. I have a friend who owns this rifle. He is thinking of parting with it. Had 80 rounds down the pipe until yesterday when I put 20 through it and upped that number to 100. I liked it. Scope would need to be adjusted for my body and eye relief, but other than that, it was fun.
Anything on the below spec I should be leery of? Pretty sure it is all top notch stuff, but it is always nice to hear opinions.
Remington 700 LTR .308
Timney trigger
Badger Ordnance 20 MOA base

Leupold Optic Mark 4 LR/T 6.5 -20 x 50 TMR illuminated Reticle
