Sounds like TriggerTech is gonna be the way to go.
Thinking hard on a SPS Stainless 7-08, new trigger in a McSwirly Mtn Rifle stock and having barrel bobbed back to 21” as a perfect Deep South deer rig!
Thanks for all the response! Preciate it!
I've long thought that if my rifles vanished tomorrow, my replacement for the light sporter category would be that exact rifle, likely shooting the 120TTSX at 3,000+. My daughter shoots an SS SPS 7mm-08 that a prior owner crowned at 20" and it has never been picky with regards to accuracy. Hers is bedded/floated in an SPS youth handle for now.
Regarding triggers, I like Timneys best, followed by tuned Walkers. No experience with the Triggertech yet. I will add that a few buddies had me put Ernie the Gunsmith springs in their recent 700 ADL purchases and the newer X-marks have actually tuned up pretty well, to a safe and clean 2-2.5lbs.
