For real gunther37 chill out or get out. We are all here to help each other. Not talk about what you have going on in your sick mind. The 700 is a great rifle i picked one up from walamrt after shooting a friends. never did get to shoot mine lol. Still a great rifle.
i attended and passed marine scout sniper school back in 96
the whole time we were in the school we were earning the title sniper............so its a sore spot with me......and other 8541's when people just assume the title........
but.........im in the wrong because civillians go by the dictionary meaning..........
sorry about that...............shoot on
Got to admit, I'm kind of in the middle here, but I am a tad more on gunthers side. Sniper is a title that is earned. The job of a sniper is to engage enemy personnel not just paper targets and animals. It is a fine point but a legitimate one. Law Enforcement and the military have snipers. Now, I still think of myself as a Scout Sniper, just not a current one. I am a Marine, just not a current one. I am a Marine Infantryman, just not a current one. Wolf, you do prove his point in your post. Civs dont have snipers, and so, do not have sniper rifles.
There are too many times where the press uses terms like “sniper” as well as others. How many times do we see major mistakes made about different types of fire arms in the press? I know it bothers me, because ignorance breeds ignorance. Now, I am not calling anyone here ignorant, but attention to details, IMHO, is important here. We may know what you were talking about, but some will not.
That being said.................. Remington has some great Bang sticks. I have a Rem 700 and it drives nails. Good luck!

Having a "sniper" type rifle will not make anyone a "sniper" so those who have "earned" the title can feel safe.
However worrying about what it is called by some dudes on the internet is a little silly. Kind of like the small group of military folks who don't think civilians should wear be able to where camo "...cause they haven't earned it"
As for the rifle I would like to buy a 700 or a Savage in .308. The Savage seems to be maybe a better performance to cost ratio.
they make all types of camo. but a mossy oak deer hunter converting to marpat digital is a little wannabe for my taste
