[QUOTE="Reformed Yankee, post: 891805, member: 74366"] Assuming you have already selected your caliber (and 7MM is a great choice) then when making a rifle purchase there are a few things to consider: 1. Does the rifle out of the box "Feel right" for you. 2. Is it the proper weight, barrel length, stock configuration, trigger etc. for your application 3. Are you going to be making changes to the rifle in the future? If so, is there a lot of "After Market" gear for your rifle to be customized with? 4. If all of the function matches up to your needs then "Looks". Everybody loves a Beautiful rifle but it has to work well FIRST then be Beautiful. All that being said, Remington 700 is a rifle you can NEVER go wrong with. Any issue you have with the rifle out of the box is easily corrected with after market components and they are extremely "Upgradable". If you want to buy a rifle that you will take out of the box, shoot with manufacturer ammo and achieve near or SUB moa performance, but you will not look to customize much in the future then I would recommend the Weatherby Vanguard. The Tikka that keeps getting mentions I like as well, but have not owned one to recommend it. [/QUOTE]
