RE: 7mm rem. mag
I have a SPS Stainless in 270 and justlove this gun....Have a Leupold VXIII in 4-10x40 and it shoots straight as can be. Great 1.5" groups at 100 with factory hornady 130 SP ammo. Great deer gun...
I think you are 6 one way half dozen the other on rifles from ruger, remington, savage, wetherby vangaurd, ect...very similar in features and quality...Any of which will last you a lifetime and then some with the proper care. Savage might have a neat stock trigger...but for $40 you can set a remington 700 down to 2lbs...
As some have mentioned above...i wouldnt want the 26" barrel...especially if i was only planning on shooting inside 200yrds...
Me personally if i was getting a Mag Round id be looking at the 7mm so I think you have a good choice. There are very fewrifles from 270 - 300win mag that really are not going to make much difference on a whitetail when you pull the trigger...Other than meat loss.

RE: 7mm rem. mag
no find an old weatherby mine is made by weatherby not sako i have a tikka made by sako
But I doubt that your rifle was manufactured by Weatherby.Weatherby did actually build some rifles of their own,but that was prior to the Mark V.The Mark V has been built buy contractors,just like the Vanguard.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weatherby
From that link
The original rifles by Roy Weatherby were originally built on FN Mauser actions, or other actions deemed strong enough, though it was primarily the FN. The first Weatherby Mark V rifles were manufactured in West Germany. Material and labour costs eventually led production to Japan, where some say the machining was actually better. In 1995 Manufacturing was moved back to the United States, where they have been manufactured under contract by both Saco Defense and Acrometal/ATEK.
