New to the community, long range shooter

[mountain0appreciator]

just saying hello! Heard about this community from r/canadaguns on Reddit - nice to have another place to meet fellow gun enjoyers.

Currently have an R700 enhanced, and have been getting into the art of long range shooting. The mountains in the PNW are awesome for that!

Thanks! P.S. if any of you are in BC and know any good long distance shooting spots in the mountains (that you’re willing to share haha) pls do let me know!

Welcome to CGN and welcome to Canada
BC is BIG as you will find once you get out and explore, lr shooting may be within 15 min. or 2 hrs. drive

Welcome, you say you have a Remington 700
I picked up a R700 in 223 with a bad barrel
I had the barrel changed to a 22-250

Yep, I got their “Magpul Enhanced” model, which came with a magpul stock, upgraded trigger, and heavy barrel. So far so good in terms of the barrel, seems to shoot under an MOA
