What factory 7mm-08 rifle would you choose?

[MagnumManiac]

I now have a second blank, 8" twist 30", it will finish at 29" which I will fit to my REM 700 VSSF II switch barrel.
My factory rifle is a stainless REM 700 SPS 7-08 that is superbly accurate, I bought this and another in 300RUM from our Australian distributor back in 2018, both are 2015 builds.
Have taken both to New Zealand last year, fired one shot out of the 300RUM in anger, and 3 out of the 7-08. Both using Barnes's TTSX & LRX. Very happy with these, except the triggers, which I will swap out be for this years trip.

Cheers.

The plus side of the Tikka is being able to use different mags and change bolt stops. You can load longer to compensate for a shorter barrel (not equally, but get close). I'm not a rem fan, so no help there. Savage 110's is another choice, but probably going to be a 20 or 22" if mot 18"? 160-162 would possibly be the heaviest with a decent velocity still. I have a 22" ar7-08 that I'll shoot 175gr in and can go 2,600fps loaded at 2.870".
