Please recommend a 30 cal 400 to 600 yd bolt gun.

Thanks for all replies. Many thoughts to consider.
I do reload and currently shoot 30-06. 300yds is my current max. I just don't see the group holding together for 4th and 5th shot. Max of 5min. Cool down between shots. I thought for this part of the puzzle I would need a barrel type besides the sporter barrel currently.

If your current loads and rifle is printing good groups I don't believe the barrel contour will be a big issue with a 5 minute cool down between shots.

When you shoot 5 shot groups testing your loads how much time do you allow between shots?
 
To hunter.... 5min is my average cool down.
4th and 5th shot seem to always spread the group...up and to the left or right depending on the load and the type rest.
 
I have both a R700 and a Savage 10FP , both equally accurate , I like the R700's aftermarket accessories support , however stock for stock I give a slight nod to the Savage action over the R700 as far as smoothness and overall function.
