Did some running yesterday looked at a Savage 10FP it was long and heavy with a nice trigger, then found a Rem 700 PSS it was longer, heavy and the trigger was rough. Today while I was out working I stopped by another shop and found a Rem 700 LTR and a Super Sniper Scope.

The Rem 700 LTR was much lighter and the barrell didn't seem like a 155 Howitzer and the trigger had been worked on, much smoother and less pulll.

I finally got a side by side comparison of the SS with a Quality scope. I believed what everyone told me about the SS. I knew there would be a difference but WOW! The clarity of the quality glass over the SS is amazing.

So I picked up the REM 700 LTR with a McMillen stock and topped it off with a Leupold VXIII 4.5-14x40 and Leupold Rings and mounts. Then ran up to the farm and put 40 rds through it. I hit the target at 300 yds but I still have some work to do.

Thanks for all the advice.
