First I plan on hunting deer and elk. That said I found a rifle and scope combo its a 16.5inch Remington 700 .308 very nice well taken care of. The scope that's mounted with it is a vism 6x24x50mm. The place is asking 850. And wont consider selling just one or the other which sucks. But does anyone think this is a good buy (first hunting rifle, have other just nothing specifically for hunting). Or should I keep looking and pair another rifle and scope myself.

As far as distance goes I wont be taking any shots beyond 300yds, until. I can get back to the range more frequently to get more practice in.
