Sako
Are they any better than tikka with there short ars mags
Nice long mags in a LA Sako
What if your a broke lineman and cant afford a sako 85 ?
Tikka T3 is good value.
i got myself a remington long range 7mm, jammed solid on first shot. after having it sorted out by zac at nth canty gunsmiths its a tack driver. got a hare just shy on a km so cant complain
Is your 700 heavy?Quote:

The sauer 100 and bergara seem good value
REM700 or Howa/ Weatherby all very good value, and good mag length
I have a sauer 100 in 708 i like it alot but you cannot change the barrels out easily, they are heat shrinked not screwed. Those bergara hmr look cool do they do magnum?Quote:

Savage, may not be the prettiest but has a faster twist so will run the higher bc bullets
The Tikka and Sako give you good throat length if you wanna shoot the 180s with rel 33. You will have to single feed the tikka though (I have to single feed mine with 162s) but the Sako 85 will have a long enough magazine (Sako A7 same mag length as Tikka I think so same issue). Browning X-Bolt and Howa 1500 might be alright but I dunno how they are for throat and magazine length?
Lots of diffent info out there some say its a screw some say its heat shrunk in , the last review i read said they requested info from sauer directly and reply said it was heat shrunk and the barrel cannot practically be changed will try and find the link.Quote:

Haha, Chinese whispers on the net.
I might ask the company myself as I've got a prc that is back with them getting the magazine modded so it fits like it ought to.
From what I've read the bolt lugs lock into the receiver on the 100 and not the barrel tenon on the 101, 202. This nessecitated a threaded barrel rather than press fit.
One bloke reported looking down the scope base hole(s) and seeing threading.
People see and report many things though for sure.
Sauer 101 sure is a shrink fit and can’t be replaced (easily at least).
Bergara is well worth a look. They make far better Remingtons than Remington these days. Kiwi Greg has done some builds on them and told me they are good news. Not sure how much room there is in the mag box, but if it’s the same as a 700 it should be fine. I have a Rem Mag box in my custom 7 Rem Mag and there’s space to spare with 180 ELD-Ms seated long.
Must be a Bergara owner on here that can offer assistance.
Cheers
101 is Screw in barrel.Quote:

I will google it.
Later. Have checked. Heat shrunk attachment.
100 is screw fit and for some silly reason the more expensive 101 is a press fit.
Get a Bergara I'm converted, pretty hard to beat for value, refined rem700 action with sako extractor and bolt release, they make damn fine barrels (Kimber now use Bergara barrels in order to offer an moa guarantee cos they sure couldnt make a decent barrel themselves)
Stocks are nice and stiff and mag has plenty of room. Made in Spain so decent trigger compared to anything American. They will fit all rem700 aftermarket parts and stocks are decently rigid.
Have you had a 100 barrel off?Quote:

Look for a BSA CF2. These go real well in 7mm rem. You will pay about $600Quote:

Savage are still good to very good even if a bit agricultural.the versions with the accustock ( aluminium insert inside stock for rigidity) are a little heavier but with a very stiff fore end.
I see Cooper has just put one up for $600 - problem solvedQuote:

I have a Tikka T3 lite and my son has a sako A7, the T3 is way lighter but the heavier sako A7 feels like a Rolls Royce in comparison and lovely to shoot. Still I do like my Tikka and it's shot me a few deer now out at long rangers and accurately. I know the mag length is your concern though.
