If you set both of those side by side, they are pretty much the same. Both seem well made....when I looked at them the Basix was a little less money. Have shot both and you can't tell any difference. The 7's trigger is a little different than the Model 700,s, so make sure you have the right one. I have heard from a couple guys that they had to do a little modifying to make the Timney fit when the Basix fit right in.
