    Re: New Rem 700 w/5R barrel - .308 or 300 win mag? Thanks to all for some outstanding feedback. Rem 700 5R in .308 is definitely the rifle. Now its between a Night Force NXS 5.5 - 22 or a Vortex PST 6 - 24 x 50. Any suggestions on reticles and eases of use would be welcome - MOA or MIL...

    Re: New Rem 700 w/5R barrel - .308 or 300 win mag? Thanks for the input. Still waiting on clarification on what 6.5CM is, but based on your feedback I am now leaning toward a Rem 700 R5 with a 24 inch threaded barrel. Still trying to figure out the best Scope for the money. Any suggestions...

    New Rem 700 w/5R barrel - .308 or 300 win mag?

    Hi all - I am new to the Forum and new to long range shooting. I cannot make up my mind whether I want a Rem 700 5R .308 24-in barrel or 300 win mag 26 in barrel. I want to become proficient at long range shooting 800-1000 yards, and I don't want to regret my decision. I understand that .308...
