My 3 year old Rem is a sub MOA out of the box, factory ammo. Love my Remington.

I dont know....flip a coin?

I would go with Weatherby.
Longer barrel, better resale and less likely to get a lemon.
I have heard forever how the 700 action is the basis for this and that but I feel QC at Remington is alot more likely to let a turd slip thru and don't want to be the one to find it.
When I was shopping for a 7mm-08, I wanted a Rem LSS in the worst way but bought a Tikka instead for the reasons posted above and don't regret it.
Rem trigger will need work too, even if the barrel/action is spot on.
come to think of it, why not a S/SS Tikka 7MM magnum?

thats what i planned on doing with the remington if i get it. im looking to get my new rifle as light as possible. i do alot of hiking when hunting and i just need a light wieght rifle.

Another option for light weight is the 84M Kimber Montana. The .308Win or .338 Federal would be an ideal mountain rifle and weigh in 5lbs (+/- a couple ounces) sans scope and rings.

I went this route with a .338 Federal and mine weighs in under 6lbs all up.

Thinkingman-Don't know....I kinda feel Remington is busting butt to keep shooters happy. Look at all the new things they are doing, and I'm not just saying this because I'm a Remmy Man.
Just go to their website and order a new catalog.
