Don't think you're slow csquared, I'm wondering the same thing. Or maybe I'm slow too.

My dad just bought a remington 700 30-06 and I was wondering what distance this gun could be used for, provided it had a good scope on it? thanks

An Army Soldier with "Expert Marksman" qualification can hit a silhouette at 300 Meters Open Sites pretty much every time firing an M16. The 30-06 is going to have a much longer maximum effective range (Around 1000 yards), with a good scope, I'd say 400 to 500 meters should not be a problem with your Dad's Remington if properly set up. Any farther than that and there are a lot of things that have to be factored in, you are going to have to have some serious skills and lots of practice to have any high degree of accuracy.
