[QUOTE="Ken gun, post: 1033233, member: 87124"] I have a Savage 116 in 7mm rem mag ss with black Tupperware stock. I recall it was a weather warrior from around 1996 purchased new. It has a 22" fluted barrel measured by rod down the barrel touching closed bolt with built in muzzle brake that can be turned on or off. Is this a good platform to invest in a better stock and high quality scope? Is a 22" barrel is short for a 7 mm? B&C stock can be $300, trigger work by local smith is $100 to set up for 3 lbs. Barrels in 24 or 26" could $350 and local guy wants $100 to set up. Could invest $400 to $750 but not sure if it is wiser to purchase a new gun. I do like 7mm and hunt in the east so not making shots over 300 yards. I assume the new barrel could be set up in one of the 7mm mags for a little more power? Have a new Kimber M84 30-06 with vx3 4-10 power as my other rifle. Not sure if it is a good starting point [/QUOTE]
