I have this Remington 700 SPS Tactical for sale (just waiting for trigger fix :roll: ) which meets the brief and well within your price range.RicF wrote:Ok, assuming I have around the 900 to 1000 max to spend on the rifle ( scope separate) what are your thoughts?
I want:
-a handy package, 20 inch barrell or less
-magazine fed, 5 & 10 rounders available
-not too heavy, 8 pounds or less
Now I know this is edging towards scout rifle specs, but I don't need it to be pure Cooper.
I want it to be able to be 1 moa out to 600m but equally usable for practical rifle.
I'm considering:
Howa 1500 with mag conversion, 20 inch fluted barrel
Weatherby vanguard 2 with the mag conversion an 20 inch
Ruger gunsite scout
Any opinions or other options?
Cheers

I've just looked at that link and thought, "Oooh, nice....!". Then thought, "Oh no!"......
The mags, Sako TRG. Makes sense as they are part of the same group. My RPA Interceptor uses Sako TRG mags..... £180 pound each!!!!
This is a great bit of kit , and you will find more stocks and mounting options for scopes and general goodies for it than any other rifle with the exception of the ruger 10-22 !ulaughingatmymule wrote:I have this Remington 700 SPS Tactical for sale (just waiting for trigger fix :roll: ) which meets the brief and well within your price range.RicF wrote:Ok, assuming I have around the 900 to 1000 max to spend on the rifle ( scope separate) what are your thoughts?
