Exactly, 750 is too rich for my blood. I can get a rem for under 500$. For someone on a limited budget 250$ is alot of money.
If that is the case,you certainly can't afford to rebarrel a rifle to 7mmstw as a pgood barrel properly installed will cost you far more than $250.The 7mmstw is a great cartridge for a handloader that has other guns to practise withbut it is a poor cartridge for a one gun hunter or a person that is relying on using factory loads.Barrel life is limited to about 1500 rounds and factory loads are quite pricy as well as being loaded far below the cartridges potential.
