Ive been doing a little shopping and yes i am VERY new to hunting/shooting. I want a good, reliable rifle that will last me a very long time and has great firing capabilities. Plus, im looking for something that has a long range on it, to be honest. I'm a huge history buff but seeings as im a civilian, im probably never going to be able to hold some of my favorite weapons in my hands, therefore, the closest rifle that i can get to military grade is an r700. Below are 2 that i saw that i thought id ask you to see if these would be good for a beginning shooter. And so i can be more specific, what is the normal range of a .223 r700 vs a .308 r700. Most of the terminology that i have been hearing is a lil confusing. I apologize for any lack of knowledge on my behalf and for my ignorance upon this subject. If you could help me out, i'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you.
