[QUOTE="David Emerson, post: 1979426, member: 112579"] I got a bit off track. I have never used a 7saum in a remington but I had one in a ruger. With a 22 inch barrel it was a dog. But often factory barrels are slow. I guess if I were you and on a tight budget I would look for a remington or model 70 and barrel it. I mean a used beater. Blueprint a model 70 and put on a good barrel and they are no slouch. Also controlled round feed. You can use the factory wood stock. If sealed and glass bedded they will shoot. If you desire a better stock at a later time no problem. The model 70 is easier. Even a 243 or 308 can easily be opened to a mag bolt face. A small remington and you need to get a PTG bolt. By the time you get done it is 300. You can open a remington but then you need to put in a m16 or sako extractor. Model 70 is much easier and clean. Just avoid the late new haven model 70,s. Pretty messy. [/QUOTE]
