I am no thinking of the savage weather warrior. Anyone have any experience with this rifle?

And sfury i agree with you on the 7mm-08. I have a BLR chambered for that round. I have never had a deer take a step!
If you can justify the cost of a Winchester Extreme Weather I would strongly suggest it. Amazing rifle for the money.

Otherwise, there are lots of good choices out there. I'd stay away from the Tikka.

I don't think stainless synthetic is a must. Just take care of the rifle and it'll be fine.
