[QUOTE="trebark, post: 255513, member: 19172"] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]JMss17:[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]My suggestion is to work with the rifle you have now (the one in your signature [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana]Remington 700sps 7mm Rem Mag)[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=black][FONT=Verdana][/FONT][/COLOR] Have a gunsmith tune the trigger to a pull weight you like. For a deer hunting rifle where shots can come quickly and be at any range from up-close-and-personal to waaaaay over there, I like 3lbs. If it's going to be more of a long range only rifle I would say go lower ~2lbs. Cost: ~$60 Get a decent stock (HS Precision or B&C Medialist). Cost $200 to $300+ Send your rifle and new stock off to a reputable gunsmith and have a new barrel installed (caliber, contour, length - that's an entire conversion by itself) and have him true-up your action and bed it into your stock. Cost ~$650 When your rifle gets back, install the bases, rings and scope (that I assume you already have) and you're done! So add it up.... Trigger $60 Stock $300 (HS Precision) Barrel and gunsmith work $650 Total $1010 Heck, buy a new Rem700SPS and that only add ~$500 to the project for a total of $1510 and that's only slightly over your budget and it gives you two rifles. FYI....I talk the talk and walk the walk.....[url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-280-a-32771/[/url] [/QUOTE]
