I've read from multiple sources that currently the Howa 1500 rifles and their variants are the most accurate out-of-the-box rifles you can buy. I checked one out at a gun show one day, and brand new, the action was slick and tight, and the target that came with the rifle grouped at about .5" - maybe even a touch less. They seem to be very similar to the Remington Model 700 in outward appearance, but I don't really know what's going on inside.
good times - I work a flex schedule so i can take mondays off instead of fridays if i want to.
we seriously need places to go shooting down here other than sanners lake and without driving an hour to get there.

+1000000. I get really tired of shooting paper all the time.
I wouldn't mind getting land to make a shooting range on. My parents own 5 acres and i used to shoot there all the time, but if i get more than two it may be a little hectic for the rest of the neighborhood. My buddy who's grandfather owns 150 acres, i haven't talked to in a while and his grandfather is a little skiddish around new people, but his back field would be awesome.

When I was growing up in Nebraska, I almost never shot paper targets - only at Jr. Rifle Club and when zeroing a rifle. Otherwise it was all kinds of stuff:
Bottles at the landfill
Clay pigeons (for some reason, Dad always called them "blue rocks")
Steel disks
prairie dogs
cans
anything that we could destroy with bullets (within safety and reason of course)
It's a lot different out here, and not really in a good way.

EXACTLY my story from Arizona (just 5 loooong years ago).
shoot anything that makes a fun noise when it gets hit, but ever since i moved down here i've had the hardest time finding places to shoot. The locals don't seem to be too fond of all the outsiders.

I just sold one. It's similar enough to a 700 as makes no difference. Now that's said with no actual experience shooting either rifle, it's just visual comparison.

Grrr.
Remington still has "BLUE ROCK Targets" written on their boxes of clays to this day.
