Hi James, I've always liked to shoot the Remington 700 for long range. If I was going to buy something today though I'd probably go with the new Savage Model 12 LRP in 6.5 Creedmor though, the short-action Model 12 Long Range Precision is designed for elite shooters demanding unparalleled accuracy out to 1,000 yards.
