[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1324211, member: 12193"] Remington does have a couple other guns you might take a look at before making up your mind. The 700 Mountain SS comes with a nice stock and is really light, but not available in 300 magnum. I've thought about picking up one of these in .280 Remington and if it doesn't shoot straight I could simply rebarrel. Their new 700 American Wilderness Rifle might be right up your alley. It comes in 300 Win Mag, has an aftermarket stock, black cerakote finish, and the barrel has the 5R rifling. I don't know if these barrels are the same quality as the 5R barrels on their Milspec rifles or not. Either of these guns would cost around $900 and might shoot well enough to get you by. Or it may not, and you'd have the option to spend $600-700 to have a new match-grade barrel installed. Then you'd have a tack driver for sure. I still like the Weatherby idea, especially if you can find a deal on one. Grab a Gun has them for $1715 shipped which is not bad. Whatever you choose let us know how it works out. [/QUOTE]
