[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 6946, member: 1441"] Thanks Ian, The main attraction the 700 offers me is that McMillan makes stocks for them, (though I'd assume they cut for model 70's as well)and the fact that they are used by the US military. They are a very popular rifle at my range, although I can't say how they shoot never having seen one do it's best. The stock has a thick palm swell to it, though I find the grip too short for my hand. I had never considered the Stealth, see I am a little bit of a biased rifle biggot ;-) I have a Sako varminter in 6PPC that shoots .3' and I have come up with groups in the high teens with 3 shoots. The thought of buying a rifle that is going to be less accurate for shooting longer rages for me is terrifying. Only problem is that you con't do much with a Sako in the way of aftermarket parts, not that you need to... For this rifle, intened for hunting out to 500m, maybe 600m I want a tactical/varmint setup. Just buying another Sako varminter in .308 would be a bit of a defeat for me (and boring) What can I do? and what kind of accuracy should I demand for these ranges? Which is considered to be the most accurate of the 700 series or model 70's? Thanks again for the advice, I have no hurry to get the rifle completed, and I have already let several months pass due to health problems with my father, so I am happly to talk about this project a lot before doing much about it.
