The 300 will be topped with the new Athlon scope I bought and depending on how the long practice goes I may do more of that when not hunting.
I really appreciate all the opinions and help as Mr.bb and I have talked a few times and I know all opinions and comments are meant well.
Thanks again for the help and will update when the new rifle is obtained.

all of your more dedicated long range rifles are going to be in this weight range and size rifle
the weight and longer barrels are there to make shooing long easier, as weight an be your friend when shooting afar
maybe not fun to carry while hunting LOL
but has its advantaged when learning to shoot farther out there
not saying lighter rifles don;t shoot well far, as some do very well, and there are many very accurate light weight rifles
and many custom rifle makers that make em!
but to Learn how to shoot far, having a rifle MADE for it, makes learning easier IMO
and there are few better platforms to learn on than a rem 700 action rifle!
