Thanks for the reply dway87. I just hope the accuracy is as good as I was told. This will be my first ever 700. My CZ550 in 6.5x55 will shoot 3 shots in just over half inch at 100yds using 140gr A-Max and 48gr Reloader 22. My wife's 30-06 on a 98 action will put three in one ragged hole using 150gr B-Tips and 50.5gr Ramshot TAC. I also have a 22-250 on an Argentine 09 Mauser action that will put 3 in less than a half inch with 40gr V-Max and 38.5gr Hodgen H380. All of these have sporter weight barrels. The 22-250 has a Timney trigger, the 6.5 has a single set trigger and the 06 has original military 2 stage trigger. If it can equal or do slightly better than these I will be happy. Any opinions on scope and where to start at for an accurate load? I was thinking maybe Leaupold VXIII in something like 5-15X range and no larger than 44mm. As for loads I might start with H380, Varget, and Tac powders and bullets in the 165gr range. Any thoughts, tips, or opinions would be appreciated.
