[QUOTE="Predator 22, post: 1323977, member: 79364"] The op didn't say 7lb gun, and didn't specify what model of gun. He said Remington vs. Weatherby. To the op, go to your local gun store and find the gun you like, that fits you. If you can't get comfortable behind it you will probably have a hard time being consistent with it. I don't care for weatherby stock designs. They just don't fit me and it seems unnatural. There lower end guns use a Howa barreled action and I don't really care for them. Nothing wrong with them they just don't tickle my fancy and seem overall heavier or out of balance. Never had any problems with my Remington's and you have endless amounts of upgrades possible. Mine have all shot very well with most being .75 or better and a few down in the .1-.25 range. But most of them have not been recent purchases and I have heard that Remington qc has been questionable in recent years. Savage is another good option, especially if you are a diy type of person. Never have owned one but have shot a few and I will say I was surprised by how well they shot. But to me they are butt ugly and then some and look cheap to me. The lower end Savage and Remington's both have cheap stocks that will need to be replaced. Not sure about the Weatherby? Now my $.02. Spend a little bit more and get a 700 action, buy a barrel and have it fitted and a stock of your choice (used in the classifieds here to save $$) and for $1000-$1200 have a gun that has a very good chance if not a certainty to out shoot all the above mentioned rifles and has great aftermarket support for upgrades in the future. Hope this answers some of your questions without the bias or bickering. [/QUOTE]
