ok i decided on the rifle.

I have been thinking about buying all my guns agian. I was robbed of everything, my grandfathers classic '66 .243 rifle, my dad's 22 single shot bolt action rifle that he used when he was a kid, and made the stock when he was a senior in high school, and it didnt even work, couple of shotguns and another 22 rifle. if you havent got the serial numbers and pictures put in a secure place, and if you dont have a safe, your asking for trouble. enough preaching.
I am looking to buy a remington 700 in a .308, i want a tack driver out to about 800 or so. I know i probly wont ever really shoot that far, but i want the equipment to be able if needed. What leupold scope would be best for hunting, but also practicing long range shots? I found a rem 700 .308 spsv for $525, is that a decent price and also does it being a varmit varient rifle make a difference? Any advice or questions to help is appreciated.

thanks for the comments yall, unfortunatly my guns are probly in mexico now.
I'm in the country in SE oklahoma, so i can set up for long shots when shooting, and i understand the max effective range when hunting.
