[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1197848, member: 12995"] From what I have read others discussing on here before, the 700 will have noticeably more room in the magazine to seat longer heavier high BC bullets. The Tikka is limited by it's shorter detachable magazines. My personal opinion is get a Remington 700 Long Range in 7mm RemMag in you want a good 100-1000 deer rifle. Swap in a Timney trigger, as the factory X-Mark Pro trigger is junk. Also, having the action bedded and barrel floated would be a cheap and good upgrade to help ensure proper accuracy. Vortex HS-T on top with Seekins Precision rings and an EGW HD 20MOA rail should get you where you want to go. If you went with the setup I listed above, you would come-in right around your $1,500 budget. [/QUOTE]
