New to the forum and long range shooting. Just wanted some opinions on the setup I purchased. I just purchased a rem700 varmint sf in 308 . I am topping it with a nikon 5-20x44sf scope with egw scope base with Burris xtr scope rings. I know it's prob not the best but its a start. Thanks for the input.

Before you burn up a bunch of ammo have a good free float, bedding and pillars installed.
It'll save you a lot of aggravation in the future.
No it's not a 3,500.00 custom setup with a 2,400.00 scope on it but it's damned sure a great start.
Enjoy.
No need to apologize for your schit. The stock is probably your weakest link, but easy to replace.
Shoot the **** out of it, trigger time is your friend. Once heard a fella say that any Joe could walk out of WalMart with better gear than Carlos Hathcock ever had.
Food for thought.....

There's a hell of a lot of truth in that.. . at least what he started with.
New to the forum and glad I found it. My intent is to get into some bench rest long range shooting. The club I belong to only goes out to 200 yards but I am sure there are some clubs here in Minnesota that go out farther.
Some interesting information here.

Definitely some great information can be had here N. I would be surprised if the problem was with the scope, more often, as already suggested, it is the way the scope is mounted. Dovetail, base,rings? Either way, I hope you achieve the results you are looking for.
