Exactly right! Most people tend to think that sniping is about head shots. That's only for hostage situations, which are rare.
Best not to try that beyond a 100 yards.

Decent groups. Would certainly get the job done.
May I ask what type of optic if any were you using?
What kind of Remington 700, a HB target gun or hunting model with shorter barrel?

^this. We went for upper center mass, put the target down then move to the next target if needed. If he bit the big one in the process, so much the better
