I think shooting a sub 8lb rifle accurately at 700 yards requires more concentration and attention paid to the fundamentals than anything, but I'd not buy one with the intent of shooting out to 700 how they've got them chambered now (yes, I know both a .270 and an '06 will make it to 700 fine). Soon as they pop out a few .280 A.I.'s and you can whistle 162 A-Maxes through them, then you'll be talking...
