RE: Remington 798 vs 700?
I haven't shot one, though I suspect any decent rifle should be able to hit 300yds fairly well.
Do me a african/dangerous game rifle though should be able to hit 200yds, though even 300yds isn't asking for a whole lot.
It wouldn't be my 500yd antelope choice, but big game to 300yds, I'd expect it to do that, though really why demand that of it?
Just wanting a mauser style action? like the look? caliber? what's this for?
If you're wanting accuracy get a 700, if dangerous game look to that 798, or others out there...CZ, kimber, etc....Ruger,
