I'm starting to piece together what we want for the event, it seems like long range is the order of the day.
Is a .308 Remington 700 Heavy Barrel going to reach out enough? YES
Should I be looking at picking up a rifle in .300 win mag?
Wouldn't hurt but NO
If I'm shooting .308, generally what ammo should we bring for long range? Federal 150 grain power shok is giving us sub moa groups, it's very affordable, but does it have the legs?
Federal Gold Match SMK 168 gr or 175 gr.
How much ammo should we bring, page advises between 100 and 200 per day, but there's two of us..?
I think I shot about 300 rounds last year.
Our current scope is a 3-9x Nikon, need more power?
It's probably worth buying a back up rifle for the weekend right? Would a .223 bolt action be useful at this event (I don't really feel like getting another .308 bolt action).
.223 may work out to 400 yard line but probably does not have enough energy to reliable cause targets to explode at 600 yards.
What to bring? I see people setting up benches, shelter, chairs, food, targets (paper, stands, soft toys), gun care / maintenance stuff? YES YES YES Warm clothes water proof boots.
Where to stay? Konkolville, motel Orofino

True but if you want to make targets at Boomershoot that are out there at 600-700 yards go BOOM, consider match bullets.
