[QUOTE="Cold Trigger Finger, post: 968472, member: 56732"] I always recommend Ruger M77 mk2 rifles. But have never had one in 7 mag. I did have a Remington M700 SS years ago that I bought used at Great Northern Guns in Anchorage for 400$ . It had the factory synthetic stock . Bought a set of rings and bases and a used Burris fixed 4 x scope at the same time. My first trip to the range in Anchorage I shot a 5/8"×1 5/8" 3 shot group at 300 yards with 150 gr Federal red box soft points. . Everything was stock and my rest was a bag of new socks and long jons I bought on the same town trip. The rifle continued to shoot like that until I cleaned it real well with a good copper solvent and stood it in the corner for a couple months. That was before it was common knowledge what copper solvent would do to stainless steel . The rifle was pretty light and I only had about 540$ into it. It also liked original X bullets. So there are several ways to get a great rifle without going above your $$$$ limit. I would put a SWFA SS 3-15 on that rifle nowadays but they weren't even a gleam in someones eye back then. [/QUOTE]
