norsepeak,
The Remington 700 action would be a good action to use.
Although my personal preferance would be the savage.
but I do work with Remingtons quite often,in fact I just finished putting together a 7mmrum with a Rem.700 long action. I got a good deal on all the parts and had the reamer so I decided to put it all together and put it out for sale.
Here is the make-up of the rifle.
Remington 700 long action, no J lock,trued up with my own oversized bolt handle.
1 in 9 twist, 27" shilen match barrel chambered in 7mmrum,Badger oversized recoil lug,And a super quick discharge muzzle break(also my own design)Then action and barrel are teflon coated in OD green. Factory trigger tuned to 2 Lbs.
It is set in a choate "THE ULTIMATE SNIPER STOCK"
I did a 15 round barrel break in and 15 rounds for load developement. I am very pleased with the results.
with factory Rem. brass, Hornady 162 AMAX, and 88.5 grains of Reloader #25,GM 215M primer, I cronied it at 3350 fps.
and it held 3/4 MOA at 700 yds. and the best part of the whole deal is I can let it go for $899 /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif(scope,rings and bipod not included)If you're not interested I will put it on BSTB page.Hope this helps
