Reach out and ...
I am becoming more interested in long range shooting. I started looking in mid-range rifles because there is no way I can afford an Accuracy International rifle. I am seriously considering a Savage 10FP. A friend has one and really loves it. I have a Rem. 700 but in a hunting configuration. I am also considering an AR based platform.
I guess I'm just looking for some ideas what other people have and even some pic's. Also, is Hart barrels still located in Nescopeck (outside Berwick)? Is it possible to go to their shop?

If you want to shoot up to 600 yards an AR 15 platform will be fine. The 223 is a real nice round. It has it's draw backs but also it's advantages. The biggest draw back is power and how wind affects it. The up side is that it is cheap and a very large selection of bullet weights. Rock River makes an awesome gun and you can get a varmint set up in 16,18,20 and 24 inch BBL. I have a 24 inch BBL. I shoot 500 meters with 69,75,77 grain ammo. great plinking and accurate. If you dont want such a long BBL. The 20 and 18 will fit the bill. If a varmint rifle is not what you want get a 20 inch with a free float tube and she will rock as well.

You could always go balls to the wall and get a Barrett M82
 Its effective out to 1000 meters for man sized targets and 1500 meters for vehicle. http://www.barrettrifles.com/rifles/rifles_82A1.htm

I read somewhere(snipercountrypx?) that the Savage rifles were the most accurate out of the box. I know that's not something the Remy 700 guys will agree with but if I was gonna build a "varmint" rifle then the Savage is the way I'd go. I like the Model 10FP-LE2B with the McMillan stock. Brad

Hart is indeed a walk-in kind of place. I'm about 15 minute away. Guess I should really do more custom bolt and benchrest guns
 I'm working on a heavy 300wthby Mag bench gun on a rem action. Heck, I dont even have any ammo or dies for this caliber yet but got a bug to have a bigger bench gun... I have others, but usually shoot the 700PSS  The 700's are pretty darn accurate out of the box. They can be tightened a bit by truing the action, etc. Not a real expensive proposition and do-able yourself if you have access to a lathe. Looks like I'm going to have a savage 10fp for sale next week for a customer. I'll post it up in the classified section.

Might want to take a look at the FN SPR rifles. My SPR A3G came with a factory log book and test targets showing an average group size of .15" @ 100 yards with Federal GMM 168 gr. Largest test target was .25". I've been averaging .25" groups at 100 yards, shooting off the bipod. I'm looking forward to getting up to W&W to try shots out to 500 yards. I'm using the Leupold LR/T 6.5-20x50. Don't forget that glass is going to cost you more than a basic Savage rifle
