7mm rem mag in 700 SPS sswith Zeiss Conquest 3x9x40 and leupold DD rings/bases. T3 would be a solid choice as well but wasn't listed. Though like said you should buy on feel not others feel or preference.

06' isfine but does little to impress me. Recoil difference between the 2 in similar weight/style rifles are comparable, yes the 7mm isslightly stouter but certainly not unreasonable either. For the bullets the 06' prefers the SD of the .284 cal is better and as well suited for upto moose sized game. If I truly needed the 200 gr and up of the .308 diameter bullets the 06' wouldn't even be on my radar screen I'd jump to the 300 wm! Little doubt the 7mm rem mag will be the flatest of the 2 for possible longer range shooting though it won't make a hill of beans of difference under 300 yards. Cost to shoot is a little more for the 7mm rem mag but not drastically in all forms, though I reload and such things don't bother me. IMHO the cost of ammo is the smallest part of the hunting bill each year.
