Go for the Tikka and you wont look back.
) and carbon fibre stocks
I imagine! This one will get a VX-3HD. I normally like Talley's on hunting rifles but I have some sweet TPS lightweight rings and found some Burris mounts for $10 in the Cabela's clearance aisle so will probably go with that.
Should be here either Friday or early next week. Haven't owned a non-rimfire Savage in about 20 years so hoping for a box of magic and precision.

Theirs a CZ 527 with leupold scope on the EE for $1400. Not bad price with the scope?

Took a quick look at Tenda, they have a CZ 600 Alpha in 308 for $849, listing says that it weight 2 KG or 4.40925 lbs.

Yeah, and they said my Henry Single Shot was a youth model. It was not...
That's what CZ lists the 308 as, 7lb. 6.6 for the 223 sizes.
The Model Sevens have a great receiver but the barrels were a gamble on accuracy. Some were great shooters and capable of shooting a tight cloverleaf with factory ammo while others grouped like shotguns. If a Seven is available, use it for a custom build and get a good barrel cut short with a light to standard contour.
Or, buy the Tikka. Good barrels. I hate the plastic mags and never warmed up to the receiver but they tend to be accurate and inexpensive.

They're rare to find nowadays. Smart people realized what they had, and how good they were, and kept them stashed away.
Like a lot of Rem products, they were pretty good, for the most part, til mid-late 90's or so. New Rem doesn't have a track record to go by yet, at the price of them now, I'd pass on them, although the newest ones have a Timney in them now.. These days it's tough not to go Tikka,ya, plastic stuff, wouldn't want to stomp on a mag, but, for the average hunter, plenty good enough, and if you don't like the stock, that can be remedied easily enough down the road. Hard to beat the triggers in them, and cheap to improve with springs if wanted.
To me, this seems light, compared to what else I have in bolt action. I really like this one {5.56}, & the short, heavier' barrel still. Also comes in .308 & they take AR mags..

You will not find any better for that price. It's about as perfect as one could expect. Those remington mountain rifles do come up at that price point from time to time.
