[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 971144, member: 12995"] Look for a Remington Sendero in .300 WinMag. If it is a newer model Sendero SFII, you will want to swap out the trigger for a Jewell or Timney unit. If it is an older model Sendero, or Sendero SF, a simple trigger-tune should be fine. Possibly might need to skim-bed the action and lug, and check the barrel for float-clearance. But 99% of the time all they need out of the box is a trigger job. You should be able to build that rifle for $1,500 easily, and it will go well-beyond your 700 yard max distance. As for the X-Bolt.....I can't help you on that one, as I've never owned one. I can tell you that both of my Browning A-Bolt II 7mmRM's shot excellently from the factory with Federal Premium ammo. And the one I have now shot Berger 168 VLD's, and Nosler Accubonds very well, up until the barrel decided to start acting up, so she's getting a barrel swap right now, just because I had a barrel sitting around, and want to alleviate the headache of trying to figure out what's wrong with the barrel that it would shoot good one day, then just overnight it wouldn't shoot anything good...
