Now, Obtunded/ Mystic/ other people who know what they are doing, before the facepalm/ netslap (both of which I may very well deserve) here me out. Would this be a good place to start for long range shooting? I was listening to some guys (Mystic) talk about the accuracy of a single shot and I was thinking of something I might be able to teach little DB that every shot counts with. (when he/she coms along) It is also cheap, ready for optics and has a fluted bull barrel.
H&R Varmint

I owned one and couldn't get it to group well at all. Mine was an ultra varmint fluted in 22-250. I would suggest getting a stevens 200 and starting out with one of those. If you'd like to progress into F-class distance shooting you can always order a new barrel and trigger from Mysticplayer and, judging from what I've seen, that should get you set up quite nicely for long range shooting. H&R is a hit and miss kind of rifle, some shoot and some don't. I even went as far as going to greybeard outdoors (online forum) and used their break in suggestions and modifications for accurizing those rifles...... Didn't help much.
The stevens is definitely a better buy.
BTW my stevens will group sub MOA whereas my H&R would be lucky if I could group 3-4 inches @ 100 yards.

FYI, Noneck180 has a fair amount of experience with the sorts of rifles you are asking about.
His advice on the XR-100 is sound. I own and have owned several. I feel they are the best factory platform out there, especially for turning into a precision rifle. Check out the 6BR thread and see how many have been turned into top rifles.
The best F-Class shooter in western Canada (CyaN1de) uses them as 6BR rigs. They have everything you want.
...a 6X47 Lapua
one of my 6BR's
