A friend has been bitten by the long range rifle bug and looking to buy a rifle. He is not and never will be a competitor, nor shoot prone or anything except from a bench. He has been looking at Savage F-class rifles. He isn't afraid to spend money, but doesn't have but the occasional place to shoot beyond 240 yards. I think he's narrowed it down to a fast twist 6br, or the 6mm & 6.5mm Creedmoor. He prefers conventional stocks. I have a RPR but he doesn't care for all the adjustments. He sometimes shoots my 700 with Criterion barrel, Magpul Hunter stock and is impressed with it. He's not into building his own, having heard a lot of negative things about current 700 receivers.
What else can I tell him? What am I missing? Looking for consistent 1/2 to 3/4 MOA capability, from mostly out of the box rifle. He has good glass.
