[QUOTE="liltank, post: 337212, member: 13275"] I have a model 7 in 243. I did some trigger work and bedded the action and it shoots great with 95grn SST's. I have thought about the same thing with mine. You would be looking at the cost of a new barrel of about $350+ depending on the maker you choose. And then finding a stock could be be anywhere from $80 to $600 depending on manufacturer. I think you should be able to build a decent rifle off of that action and in a 7mm-08. Then you could say you have a custom rifle. Looking at the Savages and Howa's you could purchase a very accurate solid rifle for about $500 to $600. I am an avid Savage fan, and the one I posted has the accu-stock and trigger. That thing is going to be the cats meow out of the box and deliver the ballistics you want at 500yrds. Its a matter of preference. Here is another that is a little cheaper, but still just as good. [url]http://savagearms.com/11fcns.htm[/url] I hope that helps clear things up a little. Tank [/QUOTE]
