[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1213007, member: 12995"] You don't always get what you pay for... I can promise you that much. I bought a $2000 MSRP Weatherby Accumark and the barrel started caving in at around 75 rounds, and throughout the next 75-100 rounds it progressively got worse and worse. I finally traded it off in late 2014 after having it for 6 years. The 7mm STW is a great cartridge. I have 2, and got my first in 2002, and I've been obsessed with that cartridge ever since. Nobody really makes a factory offered rifle in STW anymore. Remington made the SPS rifles in a 26" STW a year or two ago, but no longer. Not sure if they are going to bring back production, or not, but the product number is 85585, incase you want to keep a watch on it. You could always buy a new Rem 700 Long Range in 7mm RemMag and have the chamber opened to 7mm STW by a gunsmith. You would still have under $1000 in the rifle, and you have have a 26" heavy barreled STW. Which is the route I would go, if I were in your shoes.
