Need a new rifle -- Recommendations!

Hello all,

I'm in the market for a new hunting rifle, chambered in 7mm rem mag. I hunt black bear, deer and elk and I would like accuracy capabilities on game out to 500-600 yards and steel out to around 1,000. I plan to use handloads as well.

I had my eyes on the Bergara B14 Hunter, but just recently heard some less than satisfactory things about them and I am now directing my eyes elsewhere. For my budget, I'd like to stay under $700, but if it's really worth it I can move up to $800.

Please let me know your recommendations.

Much appreciated!
I just bought a Howa 1500 HS Precision.with the 26" threaded barrel. Beautoful rifle...havent shot it yet. Mines in 300 win mag....I can report back.

I'm mounting a Vortex Razor HD LH on it.
 
If you live or want to ship a gun to my gunsmith in Tucson try, Old Pueblo Gunsmithing. Mario Ramos Jr. is the owner. 520-979-8640. He's very good. Works out of his house. Has all the equipment, went to the Colorado School of Trades for gunsmithing so he's not a self taught guy....which really doesn't anything..
 
If you guys want another type of chassis system, Killer-Innovations out of Olympia Washington area makes high end chassis called, Orias. Rick Olsen, the owner, makes them for the Remingtons only. They ain't inexpensive as the MDT, I have 2 MDTs and one Orias.

Hey,

That will do what you are asking.

I have a 300WSM in a Tika T3 S/S Leupold 3x9x40 scope VX1, Shot ONLY to site in, maybe 5 times. I'll sell you for $900 plus splitting the shipping and you pay transfer fee, $35 on my end I believe through my FFL..

That price is higher than he can buy both for new...o_O and it isn't even the right caliber. This thread is off the tracks...
