I shoot a 700 sps in 7mm mag and it's a great rifle. My dad shoots a tikka t3 in .270. His gun and mine both wear nikon buckmaster 3-9x40 scopes and fully loaded his is much lighter than my remington. If you're going with a mountain/hiking rifle go with the tikka. They both easily put sub moa groups downrange. The weight of the remington makes it a little less jumpy offhand but I suppose practice is the key with either. Both great rifles.

I don't have any experience with the Weatherby but I have owned a couple Tikkas and several model 700s.  I have a Tikka in 300 Win Mag and I have to say it is the most accurate hunting rifle Ive ever owned, It just shoots beautifully, I traded my tikka 22-250 on a remington sps stainless in 22-250 and it to is a great rifle.  For quality and accuracy they are both great guns you should choose whichever feels and handles better for you.  I have one of the original 1962 models in 7mm Mag, it shoots almost as true and has a much nicer trigger than the new factory guns despite it's many years of abuse.  Personally I think its hard to beat the good ol' Model 700.
