I just got the Rem 700 XCR compact tactical in .308 with Loopy glass. I took 3 deer with it this year. Absolutely amazing rifle out of the box. Sub MOA using 168gr BTHP from Federal.

I have the long varminter, fluted SS barrel with synth stock. It's basic, but accurate. I have a Leupold VX2 on it until I decide I really like long range shooting. It's a big gun though.

I did but sold it for a savage. Was a 700 adl
ETA: the why, I bought it on Black Friday as I wanted to get into long range shooting. but knew right away it wasn't everything I wanted. Regretted it right off the bat. Sold it, spent a little more for what I consider a much better weapon for my price range and needs. Not trying to sway you or bash the 700. |

I have a 700 PSS.
The why is my friend's wife didn't want him to keep it in their house so I stored it for him in my safe. Then he moved to Texas. 7 years ago. We talked about it a couple of weeks ago, he said "keep it." So that's how I got it. |

I got the AAC version because it has a 1/10 twist, was threaded from the factory, and I got a deal on it from a fellow Ohio forum member buying used.

Same as mine and gets my vote on what you should buy. Because it's that badass. On a serious note, I lapped the bbl, bedded the action and added 2.75lbs to the stock and she will out shoot my buddies MUCH more expensive guns. |

Rem. 700 LTR would be my choice.
I had an ADL in 308 built in the late 70s that shot tiny little groups...it was too pretty to tear apart. My friend still razzes me for selling it. |

I have a Remington 700 LTR. They make a lot of sense because they are short, not really heavier than a sporter, but will shoot 1/2 groups at 100 yards like a varminter. When I bought it all my buddies made fun of me. Now they have them too. A standard PSS is too heavy to walk around with. The LTR will shoot as well and is a walk around gun.

Rem 700 5R 24" barrel. I dropped it in a McMillan HTG and added DBM. Topped with NF glass and cerakoted all the metal. It's a half MOA rifle as long as I do my part.
The ONLY thing I would change is chop the barrel to 20" and thread it. Coincidentally, the 5R is now made in that exact configuration as an option. Sorry for the quality of the picture. iPhone...

I have the 700 XCR Tactical Long Range in .308 and I love it. I was shooting 800 yards the 1st time I got to shoot it and hitting good.

I have a 700 SPS-V in .308, which I believe is what many police departments use. It even has "LE" marked on the barrel, which is a heavy contour. It shoots like a champ. I pulled the crappy synthetic stock off of it and replaced it with a bell & carlson.

I've got two 700P's, one in .308 and one in .223. FWIW the .223 sits in the safe 9 out of 10 range trips. Many times I wish I had just bought the .308 and spent the extra $$$ on having one really kick ass rifle instead of two kick ass rifles.

I have a Rem 700 SPS Composite in .308. I bought it primarily due to cost, and secondly due to purpose.
I spent $420 on it. It's a BDL and I knew I would immediately replace the stock. I put a B&C Medalist stock on it immediately. I'm not using it for competition so I didn't feel the need for a heavy barrel. I use it for hunting only. I do think the barrel is too long, it's either 24 or 26 inches and is the sporter profile. |

I went with the SPS Varmint in stainless. I chose the long barrel because I didn't plan on carrying it through the woods too much and I thought I might try to shoot the 155 grain bullets fast rather than the 178 gr bullets at a slower pace. I basically followed the budget precision rifle build found in our precision rifles forum: I replaced the stock with a Bell & Carlson M40 and put a Weaver 3-10 tactical scope on it.
