I'll buy the Legend edge stock for what I want, and then you can buy a standard fill Legend to get the gun to balance correctly. I want it for a lightweight setup, and it would work perfectly. Honestly, fiddling with rings/scope setup isn't going to get you enough weight toward the back end to balance it out. A standard fill McM does balance just about perfect with the 24" sporter barrel. Bingo...
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

Bingo... Yeah....that will work. Or....get a #2 Krieger,finish to 24", and have it contoured where it transitions over the chamber area into the shank. That's where there is a lot of excess meat on the factory tube,or the #2 as well. It'll balance with the light Edge stock. Did someone say that already? 
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.
