[QUOTE="rscott5028, post: 625966, member: 24624"] I can't really offer a valid opinion regarding Rem Seven vs Tikka vs Savage. I think they could all be nice. I would be less concerned about the 20" barrel. You may lose 25 to 50 fps per inch which isn't terrible if you're not shooting 1000 yds anyways. I would be concerned about the 9 twist. That would be marginal at best for the 140's and I'd definitely want to have the 140's as an option even if you normally go with 130's. That said, I'm sure that a 9 twist would still allow you to put a 140 in the kill zone of a cow elk at 200yds. And, yes. I do like the 260 for this situation. My 18yo daughter shoots 6.5x284. But, it's a heavier Win 70 long action with a Kreiger medium palma barrel. Best wishes with whatever you decide. All the ones discussed thus far will get the job done. So, pick one you like and enjoy! Richard [/QUOTE]
