New Remington 700 Long Range

[kbrowne14]

Hey guys, has anybody heard anything about the new Remington 700 LR?  It comes in the 25-06, 30-06, 300 win mag, 300 RUM, and 7mm mag.  I emailed remington to get some info on it.  They said it MSRP's for $829.  But Cabelas sells it for $649.

It seems to me like a good deal, Heavy barrel Long actions are hard to find.  With the right load, I think this could be a shooter.  What do you guys think?

Either of the .30 Cal would be a good choice.

I wonder if it's something like the old 700 Sendaro?

I'd go with the 7mm

That's odd--no .308?

They are all long action.

I'll be going with the 300 win mag if i get it.  I am looking for a long range shooter that will give me some kind of consistancy to practice with.  I cannot afford anything more expensive, I cannot find anything else on the market that compares.

I hope they used 1-10 twist in the 300wm.

I like the idea of the Berger's, but this is going to be used as a hunting rifle as well.  Berger makes a hunting bullet, but I don't think I like the idea of a round that is designed to break apart and put lead in the meat.  They don't make a 230 gr hunting bullet.  The biggest they make is 210.  I will be shooting 200 grain accubonds as well as the 208 grain A-max for targets.

It is a 1:10 twist.

have you considered the savage long range hunter in 300 wm ?

I shoot 200 grain accubonds with both of my  .300 wm's. Both guns love them and they perform great on elk and deer.

I like other premium bullets better, but we've killed lots of cow elk as far out as 750 yards with factory Remington 180 coreloks out of 300 mags and 30/06's, also with 7mm's, this year I killed my cow elk at 513 yds with one shot out of a 257 Wtby 100 gr hornady spire point. I think the most important thing is bullet placement along with enough energy to kill an elk, know your limits and put the bullet where it belongs and you will get your animal.

Sounds like a great long range rifle, let us know how it shoots.
