[QUOTE="Bman940, post: 1198035, member: 26379"] I have a couple of 700's with zero complaints. That being said all are heavier then my son's Tikka T3 lite in .308. I think accuracy is similar for the all of them so mute point in my book. All are stock with zero after market work. So if I'm stand hunting I would probably take the Remington and if I'm doing a lot of stalking I'm hauling taking the Tikka. As for cal. choice, lighter weight equals more felt recoil. Then again I don't ever recall feeling any recoil at all when pulling the trigger on a deer. As for a scope choice, I like the Nikon MONARCH 3 4-16x42 BDC reticle, you can also get a Custom Turret for this scope using all of your shooting data so that you can dial in your distance or use the Spot On and the BDC reticle. I chose the 4-16 and wouldn't compalin about a 2.5-10 either just because there will be a time when you may need to shoot on the lowest magnification setting. I hunt KS every year and last year I harvested a doe at less then 50 yards on 2.5X and a buck at just over 400 on 10X with my .300 Win. Just to keep things above board here, I have been doing freelance Shooting Event's/PR work for Nikon the last 6 years but I have been using their scopes for by choice for over 20. I don't do any sales and suggest that if a Nikon scope is in your future check out some of LRH's Sponsor's for your purchase. Here's a pic of the Custom Turret on my .300 Win. Zero is 200 yards and it is accurate enough to take a soda can at 500 yards (haven't shot any further).
