I already stated earlier in this thread I'm a fan of both the Model Seven and 700 Mountain rifles. You won't go wrong with either. As already pointed out you will likely have to address a couple small things but for the difference in money I'll take the Remmy over the others. On a side note Mac87 sounds like Sticks little $hit stirring mouth piece. He didn't ad one thing of value to you original questions. Miserable little man he must be.
