[QUOTE="Westcoaster, post: 270553, member: 13554"] Whew, lots of Remington fans here... In all honesty all three will make fine rifles but here are a few thoughts on the build... Pick up a late model Winchester M70 classic action in a long action magnum action. I still see a number of 7MM's around NIB here in Canada. True the action, install the Williams extractor and then go out and shoot it, not sure you will feel the need to rebarrel. Consider for your proposed application a 338WM. Bigger bullet, more whackem and a pretty good long range round. If you choose to rebarrel I would consider a #3 or #4 weight barrel in a 7MM and a #4 in a 338WM, not sure you need the bulk of the #5 weight. I've had good results with Pacnor and am looking at a Kreiger for my next build but I think if you buy from a reputable barrel manufacturer it should be fine. FME the Savage and Winchester triggers break a lot more cleanly and are easier to appropriately adjust than the Remington triggers. As far as wolves, man I feel bad for you guys. We just shoot them on sight. [/QUOTE]
