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.
I cleary put that was my expericence with the newer 700's. You may not keep hearing probs with 700's if it werent true. I know my experience reloading for them and buds having to return them because they wouldn't shoot factory or reload ammo at all.
Local smith says he's never had so much trouble with Rem's until the last 5-6 years or so with the Boltfaces being out of alignment compared to the ones in the past.
10$ trigger job thats great, they're about 40-50bucks where Im at.
Again just expressing my experiences.
