[QUOTE="djcompto, post: 63080, member: 3642"] So here is a question that I will leave to the masses. I have been working on building a long range rifle. I have the optics selected, and I have a factory stock Savage 110 in the 7mm RemMag. I have been looking for an affordable heavy barrel to replace the factory sporter contour that is already on it. I am having a hard time finding a heavy varmint barrel in the 7mm Mag. I did however find a package that was the varmint contour in .308 that came with the go, no-go gauges, and the Savage barrel wrench for an amazing price...under $160. So now, I am interested in hearing feedback on whether to keep the rifle's original 7mm Mag caliber, or switch it over to .308. So feel free to toss in your $.02 worth on this one, I am looking for opinions about the two calibers. I plan to shoot mostly coyotes and whitetails, but would like to be able to shoot bigger game as well. Thanks in advance for the opinions! Dan [/QUOTE]
