[QUOTE="Wachsmann, post: 2697128, member: 10429"] Sound like a good all around rifle to backpack. My 7-08 is a Bergara B14 Ridge with a 22 inch barrel. I have it now in a HSM stock that I had to modify the mag a little for feeding. Very low tech mod. Mag was setting to low all the time causing a jam up so I cut a piece off one of my wife's thin cutting board sheets and epoxy it to the front side of the mag. Now it holds very solid and does not drop down causing the jam up like it did. Also the stock has the nice cheek adjuster. I also added a rifle basic trigger that has a lower adjustable weight than stock. Trigger pulls is about 2lbs. Makes it have a nice trigger pull. Only down side is the HSM stock is much heavier than the original stock. The Bergara seem to be about on par with the Remington as for smoothness. I think they could also be a good action to use for building off of as well. From what I read they are basally a remington clown. [/QUOTE]
