I am not new to firearms, but I don't pretend to be an expert. I have owned and shot guns most of my life. However, I have never seriously looked into long distance shooting until now. I am always been fascinated by long distance precision. I have been reading and searching for good accurate information, such as rifle, caliber, etc. In a lot of what I have read the Remington model 700 is what many people use. I know that the military sniper rifles are based off the Remington model 700, therefore there as to be lots of information and research to read. I want to get started shooting and want to purchase a rifle that has the ability to move out in distance as I get better and better. Is the .308 the right rifle? I live in a small town where there are no ranges close,nor do I know of anyone in my area that is in the sport. I am looking for some guidance from the ground up. Any insight or recommendation would be greatly arreciated. Thank You.
