If you don't want a DM, go with the M70. I built a .260 on a Sako 75 action with an EDGE stock, cuz I wanted a stainless short action .260.

If I was looking right now, I'd get the stainless M70 FW in 7-08 at Ellwood Epps, put it in a Hunters Edge stock, load some 120 TTSX and rock on.

One thing I have learned, is to get/build what you want now, cuz you'll end up there anyway, and will save $$ in the long run.
