[QUOTE="Beelzebub, post: 1153167, member: 29392"] So I guess I'll keep both rifles as they are and maybe change out the barrel on the Model 7 as initially discussed in the OP. Or perhaps buy a couple of after market thumbhole stocks for them. My optics aren't the expensive Night Force stuff but are good $500-600 stuff bought on sale for those prices. Bases and rings are quality as well. All steel and no aluminum. Rings squared in by gun smiths. Rarely if ever shot more than 20 times a day and always cleaned thoroughly after being fired. So I see your points about that's about as good as I can expect even with the new barrel(s). I wasn't about to re-barrel the 700 or MK II. I was talking about the diminutive model 7. It is a great shooter with 100's and below. Especially 85's. I guess if I need to shoot something bigger I will use my Model 700 in 270 WSM or Browning 308 or my old, old, old H&R with 243, 30-30, 308 and 25-06 bbls with it. Thanks for talking me out of spending the money. Now I definitely do have money for the Gold Nugget! Thanks guys. Lee [/QUOTE]
