ok going to get one of the tactical rifles from Remington
thinking either Remington 700 Police or Remington 700 Light Tactical Rifle
700P is 26" barrel and 9 lbs in weight 700 LTR is 20" barrel and 7 1/2 lbs in weight... add 1 1/2 lbs for teh scope and bi-pod not sure how much a McMillian A4 stock im considering will weigh but i might not go with a new stock for a while if the 700P stock is good enough.. ill focus more on the action and barrel
going to use it mainly for target shooting at medium to long ranges but also for hunting at 100-200y or even closer in the woods
20" barrel is a bit shorter better for the woods id imagine at close ranges
anyways weight isnt a concern to me im 6'4 225 lbs (all muscle) and young so i can haul just about anything around all day
just i hear that the 20" barrels are more accurate than the longer barrels at shrot range not sure how they are compared to the longer barrels at long range for accuracy though as they dont give as much velocity and all
whcih should i go for??
leaning twards 26" right now but some friends reccomended the shorter barrel just wanted to ask the experts
