Wow I hope I never meet you at the range you sound like a ####. You could of said all that without the profanity and name calling. The way you chose to post pretty much makes me think your the one that opinion doesn't matter. This forum of late is becoming very hostile.
We all shoot bullets at paper and hope to do it with the best accuracy are talents and budget will allow. Who cares if you do it with a semi custom stevens .223 or a custom Surgeon .338 Lapua. The point is your out shooting.
To The original poster
I would love to get into the .338 Lapua game too but it's just not cheap. The things I would change over time on the Remington would in my opinion be spending too much money on that rifle. Save your pennies if you are serious and do it right. If you just want to test the water and try one the Remington will not be beat for price.
Best of luck

the just shooting part seems to not be heard by Obtunded...he thinks that hes better than every one else and has said that you will not get precision with this rifle or that...precision is in the eye of the beholder...if i think MOA is precision because that is my personal best...i will be damn proud...and to me personally...i have seen some people make nice groups with factory stevens rifles...you dont have to put people down because you are trying to make up for something

Each to there own. Everytime I have delt with Ian weather it be for a barrel or a question he has been great to talk too. sometimes the internet is a perfect place to take something the wrong way.
I can assure you, that if we ever met at a range, I would be everything but a ####. I agree with you that my opinion does not matter, but I do not promote that it does. There is a difference. I shoot bullets at paper, as well as meat. This is where a larger calibre rifle is required. This is apparently lost on some people.

A well tuned F class rifle will hold the V or X ring of a 1000yd target. That is 1/2 MOA or roughly 5".
Many have the mechanical accuracy to actually shoot better - shooter error not withstanding. 1/3 min is not out of the question.
So the rifle can hit a pop can about 50 to 75% of the time if conditions can be doped correctly. If the shooter can shoot as well as the rifle, hitting PD's at 1000yds is definitely not out of the question.
Everytime, that would be a fine shot indeed. But on a calm day with light mirage, 50% seems "possible".
Where I shoot, there is a stump the size of a 2L pop bottle which we call the GOPHER. Hitting it is really just a function of well tuned loads and good doping.
So hitting something 1/2 the size is certainly within the realm of possibilities.

It's a funny thing.... awhile back a fella made claims of consistently posting 3 and 3 1/2 inch groups at just over 1000yds, and was told he was full of ####.
Now we have another fella making claims of shooting GOPHERS, all day long, at 1000m,... and this is accepted by most.

As soon as I can get some days off Jerry!!

But then don't complain about the gas mileage
Bring it down and we can stretch its legs.

As for Jerrys shooting
A bunch of us........ATR Rick, Glock-a-maniac mysekf, LRC for a few, as well as many others have witnessed hits on the target that Jerry is talking about....
Too the many Nay-sayers here:
You proabably wouldn't believe me if I told you Glock-a-maniac put 8 outa 10 shots with my Barnard action ATR .22-250 AI shooting 55gr FB Noslers at well over 4000fps into the same target at 1123 yards...... Until you've been there......
The problem is too many people here shoot savage 12FV or Remmy 700 outa da box, that shoot 1/4 MOA all day. Too many people spewing about distance shooting, but don't own one..... Or never have, or never will.
Too many people with chips on their shoulders.
Obtunded/ATR/Mystic (along with others) are respected members of the community, and have lots of wisdom for all to use at there own free will.
Take it or leave it yourself, but attacking and being belligerent isn't really wanted or needed here, the confrontational attitude here really is a downer.
Sure is funny, but at the summerland shoot, I was happy to spin a 20lb propane bottle at 1200 yrds with my .338LAI AND could hit it in the 90% + range with the custom .22-250AI..... And when jerry came up and busted my chops about "playing" at the short range and helped me out, next thing I know I'm shooting with the 50's at OVER 2400 yards with great accuracy.
BUT THEN AGAIN......IF I hadn't have had MULTIPLE witness from the board, all the nay-sayers would have jumped all over me.
So all, take the knowledge that others are providing, use what you want, but don't discourage people from offering it,or offering some wisdom whether you agree or not.
Maybe there should be another sub forum like somebody said in I think Ian Robertsons thread....... One for people Precision rifles (customs wildcats,long range shooting) and people with questions/comments about such, and one for people that have questions comments concerns about non-precision rifles, but more precision than "regular" hunting rifles .....(the Varmint rifle forum) or such.......
Wow Rant... Whooo ya.... Woot Woot.

its not that we dont appreciate the INFO...we just dont appreciate the snotty attitude that Obtunded decides to throw along with it...we dont deserve it but we get it anyway...Obtunded has turned me off of F class and pushed me towards shooting alone at a range
why would you spend that much when you could have just as much fun with a gun that costs a tenth of that?
