Is anyone going to the NRA Show this weekend?

I'd love to, but considering my anniversary is Sunday I might get in trouble.

EDIT: My wife is the best. Taking her to dinner on Saturday night, but the rest of the weekend is open to go.

Should be buying a Remington 700 within the next week. May be a little longer. The plan is to shoot it this Sunday. If I like it I'll buy it.
It's a 7mm SAUM. Stainless barrel and Leupold vx-2 6-18 scope. Shot 100 times or less. Really clean shape. Not sure what length barrel.. didn't measure. Just looking for a long range target gun. Aside from ammo being absurd for it, what is it's max effective range, given a good shooter?
It's $700 with 100 empty cases, 30-40 rounds of Remington ammo, and a die for it.

Do you know the twist rate of the rifling? If it's fast enough (1:9 if I remember right) you can push the Berger 180 hybrids and hit 1500 to 1800 yards.

Still, with reasonably heavy match grade bullets, the 7mm SAUM is fine for 1K plus shooting.

Mmm good
Looking into it, now looks like it might have the faster twist rate.

I picked up a Lee Challenger beginner kit for around $100, a new scale and dies to get started. I use it to load .30-06 for my 700 but want to get a progressive press to load all the other stuff that isn't as precise.
