Remington 700 all the way. You can go with an SPS model and save some serious dough, or you can spend a little more and get a great wood stock in a BDL. Just take it down and get a trigger job after you pick it up and you will be very happy. I liked the info above about the Nikon Monarch, great scope. Just make sure to get a quality scope, Nikon, Leupold, or maybe Burris, all are great scopes, and you can go up from there.
