Wightknight Posted April 11, 2018 Report Share Posted April 11, 2018 Hi all, I'm looking to buy my first rifle which will be used initially for 500 yard TR-F / F-TR. (maybe with the option of going up to 1000 Yards) Would a Remington 700 sps varmint .308 with 26" barrel be a good start. Small budget , looking to spend £800-£1000 on rifle. I will be hand loading too, so don't mind working on loads to suit. Any thoughts or alternatives suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo999 Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 Valkyrie Rifles built me this 5 or 6 years ago - basically the Remi 700 SPS varmint in an AI chassis. Shoots very well out to 600 yds with reloads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have this very rifle, essentially out-of-the-box. l’ve used it out to 1,000 yards with a Schmidt & Bender 3 - 12 x 50 ‘scope. lt will serve you very well as it comes, and you have a huge variety of Gucci bolt-ons and custom tweaks from which to choose as needs and budget require. maximus otter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichalS Posted May 25, 2018 Report Share Posted May 25, 2018 For similar money You can have a Sabatti Tactical Sport with 28" long 1.05" diameter match barrell. Mine and others I know of shoot 0.3-0.5 MOA out of the box with factory (GGG) ammo all day long. Cannot recommend it more. I shot a stock R700 - there is no competition.
