Okay cool, I checked out the website again and it seems the only difference is the stainless like you mentioned. I was appealed to it but the long barrel is un-appealing. Why would I want a 7mm-08 with a 24" barrel? It makes no sense. Anyway, I like Remington but I can't see me getting one because of this. This leaves Savage, Ruger, and Tikka.
What else would you want?
He said it was for his son. Without knowing how old his son,etc. I'd suspect a 22" barrel would be more appealing due to better handling for a smaller framed shooter. Then again it could be for a smaller design,lighter, swing on target,etc More then just FPS at the muzzle to consider when choosing a barrel.
