Out of the box accuracy/weight/durability Tikka would be the go. Reason I'd go 270 vs. 7 rem mag, you'll probably want to end up shooting further than first thought and 7 rem mag will let you do this more or less out of the box.

I see. I'm definitely not at the stage of loading my own rounds, would be interested in doing this later down the track once I'm more experienced.

In regards to suppressors, there's obviously DPT, Greystone, Gunworks & Hardy. Any reason you would be specifically going with DPT?
