[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 675630, member: 9281"] I bought a new Rem 700 Classic in 300Wby many years ago. Very nice little rifle but if your 7mm is like my 300, it has a 24" barrel. It will suffer with velocity compared to a 26" of even 28" barrel. Also it will have a small raised piece at the forend of the stock putting upward pressure on the barrel to supposedly enhance accuracy. Mine never shot good until I had the action bedded and completely free floated the barrel. I guess it depends on what you intend to do with it, but for LR it will need some mods. [/QUOTE]
