Hello all! New to the site and have a few questions.
I have been wanting to get into long range shooting for many years and am pretty close to doing it now. I have been hunting and shooting since I was a kid but am not super knowledgeable about the inner workings of rifles, especially target/ custom rifles. So I am pretty sure I am going with a factory rifle and really like Remington. My local shop has a 700 target tactical in 308 for around 1500$, and I would plan to spend about that much again in scope, rings, bases, etc. The guy that runs the shop also mentioned Remingtons custom shop and something like the XM3, for ballpark the same money.
I was wondering if anyone out there has any experience with either of these rifles, the XM3 is guaranteed to shot sub-MOA out to 1000yds, that is probably all I would ever want in a rifle, at least for the foreseeable future.
Thanks in advance for your help!
