Its true that it may be a while before components are available. Factory ammo is not hard to get where I live. I could however live with the 22-250, 6.5x55 and my 45-70. I have both the 250-3000 and the 6.5x55 in the 700 classics. I just picked up the same gun in 300 Savage as that was the classic for this year. I never had a problem with a 700 Remmington and I have had a bunch of them.
