Hello All,
Its me again the new guy. I was dead set on Savage but after a trip to a local gunsmith I am looking at Remington options. Just might purchase the 700 SPS Tactical. This will be an all weather gun for the range and hunting. For my 2nd rifle I am considering the 700 VLS or the XCR Tactical Long Range.
This 2nd rifle would be for target 200 to 600 yards but I do not want to be tied down to a bench. I have always wanted a wood or wood like stock and forearm on a rifle. The VLS is heavy and would not be taken into the field just a range gun. The XCR Tactical Long Range is from what I can see a longer version of the SPS Tactical. Since I am new to the rifle keeping things relatively the same may be a good thing. I do understand both rifles would have to be adjusted by the smithy (bedding, accurizing, etc).
Remember I am new to this sport. Please explain your choices so that I will have the knowledge to make an informed decision. This 2nd purchase will not be until July or August after I get use to the ranges in Maryland.
My brother and I are having a ball with clays and want to expand.
