It's one of my goto rifles. With a 75 grain bullet it has hit chucks at 500+ measured yards. A lot of fun - you walk your shots up to them, they just sit there watching the dirt fly not knowing what is going on.
With a 120 grain bullet it will anchor a whitetail like someone pulled the earth out from under him.
But the Remington 700 weighs in just a bit over eight pounds - makes a long day in the woods seem a whole lot longer. I also have a 50's vintage Remington 760 pump in .257 Roberts that is a light woods carry - I don't load her near as hot though.
The 700 is the only real custom built gun I have. Back in it's early days the money she cost was quite a lot. Wouldn't buy a whole lot today though.
I've been thinking lately that I probably need a true 1,000 yard rifle. Not sure what it will turn out to be, but I surely do need one.
