RE: Help decide on rifle purchase
Like said you answered your own question.
As far as the trigger on the 700 it is easy to have the trigger pull reduced(minus the savage AT). Unless you know somebody who is versed in this process or gunsI suggest youtake it toa gunsmith to do it for you. Here the cost is 30 bucks if no spring needs to be replaced, which in an out of the box new rifle I doubt you'll have to worry about unless your wanting to go lower then the 3lb area. If you don't care about ss barrel the 700SPS is offered in a Detached Mag version with the matte black barrel on black synthetic stock, FYI. DM is also available in a mountain rifle package which is wood on blue..not sure what calibers they are chambering this run though. I am a lefty so neither are applicable to my needs but my partners bought the boy aSPSDM this year so i know its an option if of interest.
