[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 932923, member: 68226"] Most all will know me as a Weatherby person. I am 100%. You can not go wrong with a Accumark in 7mm rem. Out of the box it will shoot 1/4 all day long with a hard bullet such as a Barnes. I just did a build for a very special friend and he had to use a Browning A Bolt that was a gift. I personally was not that interested in the Abolt until I really got to work with this one to learn them. They are a well engineered impressive piece, superior to many other motioned rifles.They have a 26 in barrel right from the factory. In my mind that is the best length for this round. A simple bed and free float they are great actions. Boyds makes a great laminate stock if you want a custom look. Most all look over the A BOLT. They are second to Weatherby.
