What's going on guys?
I'm looking for suggestions on a new big game rifle in 7mm rem mag. I'm looking at spending around $700-$800 or so. I may plan on eventually adding upgrades like stock, trigger and maybe eventually a barrel and brake but nothing immediate. I mainly bow hunt but am looking for a rifle to use for left over tags and what not. I was leaning towards a Rem 700 or possibly a Savage since those are the only two i have experience with, but I was looking for suggestions on others I dont know about. Ive been reading some stuff on here and the Tikka's seem to have quite a following but i know nothing about em. I was maybe even thinking about winchester or Cz as i have shot those in the past as well but i dont have any extended experience or knowledge with their larger calibers.
My dad has had a R700 7 mag since i was a kid and it was something Ive alwasy enjoyed shooting. I'm abrehensive though with purchasing a new Remington since from what ive read, their QC has gone down hill recently. Also a few years back I had a savage 7 mag with the heavy stainless fluted barrel and muzzle brake. Although the stock it had was crap it was very accurate. I liked it quite a bit but decided to sell it for something a little more light weight, but never ended up getting anything new.
So what do you guys think, should i go with what I know or try something new. I like the looks of the Tikka t3 lite with the stainless barrel but not sure i know enough about the gun to pick one up.
Suggestions?
Thanks
