I have a Remington 700 BDL stainless in 7mm Rem Mag with an H-S Precision stock, hinged floorplate, and a Leupold VX-II scope that all together would cost just a little over a grand to buy/build, all extras considered. I really like this gun and after it had a professional trigger job to make the trigger break like glass at 2.5 lbs, I'd consider this rifle as good a performer in the hunting field as any 7mm Mag rifle out there. With good factory ammo, it's very sub-MOA and pleasant to shoot. I think it looks nice too.
