[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1064124"] Of course I'm prejudiced against R700s. I have 4 but I don't consider them "keepers". Just easier tools for experimentation than Weatherby's. IIWM it would be Vanguards. For the 6.5 get a Synthetic VG2 in 6.5CM. Drop it in the stock you want. Bed the lug and Float. Tune the trigger and shoot it. If shoots, leave it alone. If not, change the barrel. If you go with a Pac-Nor prefit, probably cheaper overall than a R700 based build. Especially if you can find one used. For the 7Mag, do the same or get the VG2 RC. A little heavier than your 7lb goal but still quite doable. [/QUOTE]
