Remington 700s make awesome target/sniper rifles, I have a 700 Sendero SF in .308, free-floated, fluted barrel with a Leupold VXIII 6.5-20x40mm. Highly accurate 500-1000 yard rifle, .300 ultra mag would be better if you want serious power at 1,000yds but .308 works. The Leupold is an expensive scope, $600-900 and higher, depending on what you want but absolutely worth every penny. If you want a rifle that you know you can shoot accurately at serious distance, even if you normally don't (like me...hehe) Remington makes some very fine rifles, and like mentioned before, there are so many good rifles that are undercut by poor optics, so spring for a good scope at least.
