I am in the market for a new rifle. I hunt Whitetails with the occasional hog. My shots will be from 10-400 yards. I want something that is accurate and light. I have listed the rifles I have been looking at. I believe which ever I choose I will go with Millet Mounts and rings and go with a vari X 3 Leupold 50mm. If you will, select the rifle and the caliber that you would choose out of what I have listed. Thanks..
PS any suggestions you may have I am open minded. Thanks
Also I already have a remington 700 243cal, however the trigger is so hard on it, I need to get an aftermarket trigger. My Remington 7600 (circa 1995) has alot better trigger.
You don't need to buy & install aftermarket trigger, all you have to do is adjust/have adjusted the factory trigger already on it. That would be cheaper than replacing complete trigger, while yielding same results. They purposely set triggers at factory too hard in hopes they won't get sued in case of accidental discharge.

I have tried I just cant get the back screw loose. It almost seems glued in there. I have used wd-40 and still cant get it.

RE: Which Gun/Caliber Multiple choice
................Try a little acetone on a q-tip on that screw. Also, if you aren't familiar with the procedure, you may want to look at www.quarterbore.com and reference Rem. 700 Trigger. Another source is "remington crisp" on your browser.

Thanks for the advice Pa, I have read up on the remington crisp recipe, aswell as a few other websites. Thanks for the advice though, it is appreciated...

Do you have an new "X pro" trigger? I had the same problem trying to adjust the sear engagement(back screw) which is crucial to 700 trigger adjustment. I got rid of that gun!
Look into savage, they have just redesigned their syn. stocks for this year ,which was the only thing, I thought they needed to be perfect.
