Stubblejumper,
I almost agree....I'll tell you why.
The 7mm I bought, I got from Walmart. It is a Winchester 70 and came with a Simmons 3x9 scope and I paid $310 for the whole set up.
I got it 2 years ago.
2 months ago, I bought a Tikka Whitetail Sporter in .22-250 and put a Weaver Grand Slam scope on it and still fight with my wife about the money I spent on the damn thing.
I shoot better groups with the Winchester.
That's all I'm sayin.
