[QUOTE="bbckfh, post: 1712322, member: 100810"] Ok: 1. Welcome. Good to have you. 2. What flavor of 7mm? I presume the 7mmRemMag? 3. Criterion makes a pre-fit for Tikkas and Savages, as does Proof and a number of others. Think anywhere from $350-750 for a reputable brand. And yes, that should easily meet and likely exceed your goal of 600yds. Google: "____ prefit" or visit LRI, Krieger, Pierce, Bartlein, Lilja, Brux, Proof, Straightjacket Armory, etc. 4. Sure, you could rebarrel the 116. Why? Creedmoor is approaching the edge of the energy envelope for deer at 600 yards. But factory ammunition in that caliber certainly does provide sufficient precision. Do you want another, lower-recoil rifle in lieu of your 7mm? 5. I concur with Ready... I would [B][U]absolutely[/U][/B] want a lower end magnification ...think 3x. I think 15x is [U]plenty[/U] on the high end, especially only out to 600. I think most are over-scoped. I have and love a VX-6HD, but I got the 2-12x. Great scope. The locking + zero stop turrets are really nice. 6. Don't know about the classifieds, but I think there's a sticky at the top with the criteria for use? [/QUOTE]
