I currently own a remington 700 in .308. Shoots just fine. I'm not the most experienced guy to respond to this but from what i've been told you may want a larger caliber. FYI I bought mine from a friend for $600 with a vortex diamondback on it. I took the scope off and replaced it with a viper pst.
I too, own a Remington 700...243 BDL...I got it when my old friend Cal passed...It was one of the 700's that would go off when you closed the bolt (trigger mechanism)...Remington fixed it and I've never had a problem.
Ya...those things suck..popped my cherry at 14 with a 270..still have her today..model 70 featherweight.. schnoble forend...shes seen an ungodly amount of killings..retired now..she deserved it .
I've been messing around with a friends .270 they are an odd ball in that the standard .270 is a 1:10 twist and its hard to find them with anything faster. With the heavier 150's you'll still be going plenty fast. McGuire makes a .270 bullet in in 128 grain designed to work with the standard 1;10 twist you'll find out there. I just bedded his Sako and worked up a load with these 128's and its bad ass 3000 fps straight up and accurate. It will be tasked with killing a Tule bull on FHL in December and I cant wait to be there for that one. I just sent off the turret info to Leupold.
