[QUOTE="pyroducksx3, post: 448560, member: 20443"] I had the tikka when I posted this but the rem is new. Originally I was looking for a gun that was lighter recoiling ,more enjoyable to shoot, than the 300 wsm in the tikka. This gun would become my primary hunting gun and the tikka would be a backup, or elk gun as I primarily hunt deer with a modern firearm and elk with a bow. Then this remmy deal showed up. So now Im considering making the rem my longrange heavy hitter and either leaving it as a 7 rem mag or upgrading to a 7 stw, 7-300 win mag, or most likely a 7 rem ultra mag and using a 28" barrel with a muzzle break, 200 wildcat ulds and high power optics looking at selling the burris to help pay for a vortex viper pst with FFP in 6.5-20 if they ever come out. So that leaves me with my lighter carry gun, the tikka. So now Im thinking either a 270 wsm, easiest because it uses the same bolt face and mags, or ideally rebarreling to a 260 rem but that means a new bolt and mags. decisions decisions. Probably easier to sell the tikka and get a stevens or savage but I hate selling my guns and I painted the stock so I doubt Ill get enough for the gun to make it worth selling. Im really leaning towards the 260 route just because it would be the most enjoyable to shoot I understand its not the most practical but maybe better in the long run between barrel life, powder and other things being considered [/QUOTE]
