[QUOTE="Kamptown, post: 1241049, member: 98309"] I am in the market for an all weather 7mm with a 26" barrel. I have been shooting the same Ruger m77 for 20 years. It shoots great(after a trigger swap). Shoots under an inch at 100. I really like to keep my shots under the 300 yard mark, but inevitably there are times when I will find myself ranging out to 4-500 yards. So my price range is not in the truly custom range, and I would have a hard time busting through the brush with a $5000 rifle. That being said I currently have my eye on four. All in the 7mm, I really like the ballistics. Also I hike, so weight is a factor. The browning LRH or Hells Canyon Speed Remington CDL SF(I know it's wood, but) Winchester Model 70 Extreme Weather SS(that's a mouthful) Kimber Mountain Ascent I'm sure there are more sub $2000 rifles out there, and I sure welcome the input. My eyes are smoked from hours of articles and reviews and forums. Everyone has an opinion, and I would love to here firsthand what your experience is. I shoot Elk, Mule Deer, Antelope in Idaho. The farther north I go the wetter it gets! It stays wet days after it rains, and then it rains again. One concern I have about the Kimber is the super thin barrel. I do reload, and can fiddle with powder and projectile. Honestly I can't imagine ever taking a shot past 600 yards if even that far. Sorry if I rambled there, just a lot of info. Thanks in advance for your replies. Nick [/QUOTE]
