[QUOTE="gunsmith, post: 745127, member: 53434"] The Remmingtons in those chamberings are fantastic guns at any price, let alone best in their price range. The ADL model 700 is good enough, but the SPS is a beauty. I suppose my favorite was the 700 in 7mm SAUM. Mine indicated 19% less recoil than the .30-'06 shooting a 165 grain when the SAUM was shooting a 150 grain a whole lot faster and flatter. I hope they chamber it in 6.5-.284 Norma soon. The Marlin (I'm guessing in .44 mag?) is one I, too, wish was a heavier gun. I have a tendency to like heavy guns with light-to-medium recoil, and really hate light weight guns with lots of kick. I don't really enjoy anything over .30-'06 in 180 grains, but can endure a .338 Win Mag if it weighs upwards of 9 1/2 lbs. A buddy recently paid me to accurize a .477 Nitro Express. (WHY? ...I don't know.) Not a lot of fun...I really should have turned the job down. I felt about like the bomb squad after a bad day. BTW, ReachOut, a groundhog at 468 yards is some decent shooting. Kudos! [/QUOTE]
