[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1242111, member: 41338"] Not a 7mm but Steyr Pro Hunter, which is available in 300 Win Mag, would likely meet or exceed all your expectations for a longer range hunting rifle at a very reasonable cost. I had a Winchester EW. It had "all the right parts" but was disappointing in multiple areas and I never warmed up to it. The Steyr is sorta the other way around. Weight, balance, accuracy (first shot too), and carry characteristics in the field, it has it all but not necessarily in a package that scantily clad models can be seen holding in gun magazines. I recently got one in 30-06. Topped it with a old Leopold VX 2, 3x9 that I had in a box and made some handloads with some ancient powder that I wasn't even sure was good anymore (seems to like Federal Primers). 5 shots off my tailgate at 105 yards that I can easily cover with the pad of my thumb. I like this rifle a little more every time I take it out. I kinda didn't expect that. [/QUOTE]
