[QUOTE="cmillett79, post: 379685, member: 12148"] Thanks for the reply people .. Just to add I will be reloading for it .. I will be loading 150-175 gr bulletts.. Reason I chose the 7mm rem mag is the bullett diameter is still small enough to not thin the barrel as a 30cal or larger would..Also that I am familar with loading for the 7mm mag and I also already have all the reloading gear for it...I was looking at starting with a used stailnless SPS barreled action pillar bedded into a laminated Ross thumbhole from boyds , and then take it from there. Starting the build would be under $700 bucks so I dont think thats to bad unless I decide to go with a bit heavier barrel .. I would like the rifle not to be as heavy as a sendero , which I know a sendero is not heavy when it comes to LR rifles .. Just sometrhing I wouldnt mind carrying around in my pastures that will be just as dependable and accurate as the heavier rifles out to 600-800yds. [/QUOTE]
