These accuracy scenarios and issues are very interesting. I bought a Remington 700 Long Range in Missoula (for hunting in the 300-400 yard range) which turned out to be very accurate. The only thing holding it back is the power of the scope 2-10x42.....which is barely OK at 300 yards due to a minimal sight picture, but can still put 3 holes in paper at under an inch at that distance. Not sure how well the rifle will perform beyond 300 yards but seeing the actual performance of a 4-32x50 scope at longer distances (675 yards) does make you wonder.
