Remington 7mm for getting into long range?

I say it depends on what you mean by "getting into long range". If that means competition, the point has already been made by others. If that means going and hitting a gong at a 600+ from time to time, then no big deal... that is more than enough rifle. I would glass bed it with a $35 acraglas kit and do a trigger job:

Just give it time between shots to cool off a bit and you can shoot long range all day with that gun.

This is a good point, It really boils down to just how much LR shooting you want to do.

I think that makes a lot of sense. I'm more interested in what you said "going and hitting a gong at a 600+ from time to time" is what I'm looking to working towards at the moment. I'm not looking at competition yet, but that could be something that I get interested in after I am a more capable shot.

In that case, buy a decent scope for it, slap a bipod on it, and have some fun. If and when you decide to play the game seriously, then start spending money and build up a proper LR match rifle.

I'll warn you now though, it's addicting and next thing you know, you'll be building up a full tilt LR rig

After that try a local match to see if it is something your going to enjoy. That's what I did...... now I'm broke....... ALL THE TIME!!! Lol lol
