22-250

i want to get a remington 700 vlss i had a look on the internet and found this http://www.christiangunowner.com/remington700vlss.html
it shows the rifle can hit 1 or sub moa and 100m and looks like to 300m its still 4" roughly = 1.25 moa. it is very accurate with the famous rem 700 bolt

he was using bushnell 3-9 and i was going to get a leupold vx-3 with "varmint hunter" reticles which show aiming points out to 500yards
i not going to get a shooting bench but only some Remington Front and Rear Sandbag Set for only $35 or a bipod to use

i think im going to go prone not using a bench for this and im only going for paper at this point if i can hit a A4 piece of paper i can get hit a goat but there will be only 400-200 ft-lbs energy which is double most .22 lr bullets at 100 yard "i think" but 500 is a long shot and most shots will be in 300 and the wedsite i saw showed the accuracy at 300 and using 55gr hornady here is still 770 ft-lbs

there are 3 aspects of hitting the target

1 accuracy of the rifle scope ect - the rifle should be accurate with the rem 700 bolt and thumbhole stock, the scope is leupold and with the "varmint hunter" reticles i think it would be easy to know high to aim
2 effects of wind and range ect - i can caculate range,wind,temperature,altitude ect but i will shot no a calm day 5mph wind or less and the target will proberly be a 450 meters if i can hit that easy and then hit say a target a 400m in one shot i will be happy
3 accuracy of the shooter- i can hit 1" group at 50m with my cheap ruger 10/22 with only a 4x32 scope so 2 moa with a cheap gun what could i do with one thats twice as good

in conclusion: with those three thing and some practice i can properly hit a A4 piece of paper at 400-500 meters/yards

hey bonk , just thought id reply because u said you were looking at getting a VX-3 leupold , presumably with varmint hunter rectical ?? i have that exact scope , and am pleased withit but no matter with what load (reloads!) the bullet impact has never co-incided with the aiming points !!! for instance . with my best load - on a large target 60" deep (bullseye at top !)
zero @ 200 yards !
put target out at 300 yrds , fired 5 shot group still aiming at bullseye , bullet drop was 7 " ! i then put another bullseye over the 5 shot group @ 300 !
went back to firing point and adjusted the zoom to braket the recticals 200 and 300 lines with the bullseyes !!
i cheaked by firing another 300 group using the the300 yrd drop line and was bang on !
then put out target @400 yds , it was 4" low , hhmm , so i put it out @500 to see where it was and it was 11" low !!! from using the 500 yrd sightline !
now i just dial in the cliks on the turret , which works well but ultimatly im after another scope with tactical turrets , im saving for a nightforce 5-22x56 , soo just letting you know that its not a case of just buying a scope with that rectical and hit every thing out to 500 yds ! well it didnt work for me anyway .. fanks ..
