Hi all. I am looking for a rifle in 7mm-08. I want a nicer rifle than the budget class so I have been looking at things like the M70 Featherweight, Ruger Hawkeye etc. I have a budget of about $800 for the rifle. I had my heart set on a Model 70 Sporter, but they don't make on in that caliber. Part of the reason is weight. I like a little heavier in a rifle. If that were the only difference I would go with the M77 as it is 4oz more than the Featherweight. I know that may sound trivial, but I am trying to help a bad shoulder here. What others can you guys suggest that compete well with these two? As it is, I am pretty settled in this caliber.
