Save your money and put it towards a sako or at least a tikka. Sako 7mm mag with a nightforce scope..........oooooweeee. You'll be sniping you're game from the adjacent ridge. ;)

Thats good, at least a $2600.00 setup! Sako Love them I have a Finnlight, in 260 rem. Tikka WAAAAAYYY to much plastic for my taste, pretty ugly to boot. Plus I like to get as close as possible before I shoot, less walking to do! But I like the way you think, Maybe I should get both!!!!!

Ya it is an expensive setup. Its my dream setup. I went with the tikka t3 300 wm with a Bushnell laser rangefinder scope with the bullet drop compensating turret. Very happy with the setup. Using hornady superformance 165 grain sst's. The laser rangerfinder in the scope is awesome. Just look at the yardage display in the reticle, dial in the distance on your turret,  dope your wind and hold dead on. I have to say it works like a dream. I'm still practicing with the the windage, but on a calm day......600 yards is no problem. Have a buddy who's real good with windage who shoots out to 800 with his. Love the action on the tikka. Beautiful trigger pull. Same as the sako......tikka t3 is a great accurate rifle. Its guts are the same as sako, just not as handsome. Way better rifle than any remmy or savage that's for sure. At least in my humble opinion.

All right, I decided this weekend and got it! I went with the 700SPS Stainless, It did have the X-mark pro Trigger. That is what pushed me in that direction. Along with not having to worry about a safe queen with the wood. I put a Vortex Viper 3-9x40 scope on it with leopold rings and bases. $40 rebate on the rifle, lifetime no fault warranty on the scope. I'm pretty happy with the feel so far. I'll be working up some handloads for it soon! Thanks for all of your opinions, ideas and 2 cents!!!!

OK, cool.  Next post on this thread should be some photos of a target with the center shot out of it... :tup:

Should be a good rifle for you. Mine, with factory ammo, gets less than 3/4MOA at times and has even put a couple through the same hole at 200 yards. Then again I usually screw it up with the third shot, but the rifle can shoot... even if I can't  :chuckle:
