RE: Which rifle for the 7mm08?
IF you are going to buy a Rem glass bed it, get trigger down and free float it then save your money and buy a Browning A-bolt in the 1st place, The micro versions are very nice if you want a short light gun without a pencil thin barrel.
I think Tikka's are the ugliest guns on the market(Just My Op.) but everyone here loves them and talks how accurate they are.
I wouldnt take a new Rem if you gave one to me. The older one's are great but the new ones (again just my expericence with them) just suck. The model 7's are pretty though.
