7mm Rem Mag

Depending on the make and model of the rifle as well as condition, I will consider it. Saw some videos of a guy shooting over 1000 yds on a steel plate, pretty impressive.

With the right barrel twist rate, 175 grain bullets can be used, which have great BC for long range shooting. If ya like recoil, go for it. If you don't, and don't plan to reach out to beyond 1000 yards, a 308 Win should be more than adequate.

Shooting mine became tolerable only after I replaced the standard hard rubber recoil pad with a modern soft one.

It's a Remington 770, which is the cheaper version of the 700. After some google-ing around, I see several negative reviews of the 770. Then again, there are several possitive reviews as well. But, I'm going to pass on this. Thanks for everyones input.

Back when I trained with HK in the counter sniper course [ mid 90
s ], the S/S were using hand loaded 7mm to protect the prez. Their minimum set up was 700 yrds out on roof tops with those rifles/caliber.

I don't blame you for passing on the 770.

Better luck next time.
