[QUOTE="Remington92, post: 2990737, member: 96256"] Hey all after letting the pendulum swing to an ultralight backpacking rifle I’m missing having a heavier long range rifle. That being said I’m looking for more of a budget option that will be called on when needed since my Nula is my main hunting rifle. For caliber I have a soft spot for 7mm rem mag but those are getting harder to find as are fast twist barrels from the factory. That being said I’m looking more and more at 7prc instead. Other calibers I’ve considered are 300wsm or 300wm. For a semi turn key rifle the savage trail hunter looks promising for $500. 7prc, 22” semi heavy barrel, threaded for suppressor and plenty of aftermarket support. Other option would be Ruger American but there’s much less support for stocks and such. How are Bergara nowdays? I thought I’d read the quality had really started to slip? [/QUOTE]
