I had a Remington 7-08 a few years back and was a so so rifle but didn't care much for the sps version. I was just handling a Vanguard in same caliber and I still have dies brass and several variations of bullets for it. The trigger seemed to break around 2.5 lbs or so just a guess. Don't know if it's adjustable or not. Clean break but maybe what I call a tad mushy. Want a pica tinny rail and was told same as Remington 700. Stock appears to have no floating at all. Only thing I see is weatherby guarantees a 1 inch group and although much different from my bench rifles I liked the weight and am thinking of buying for a light bolt action to carry for 150-200 yard hunting only. I'd prefer the 243 but I think twist rate is for varmit sized bullets and I have brass for it also but would have to pick up a set of dies. I don't know anything about the Japanese made rifles or so I'm told that's who makes them but the $425.00 price tag caught my eye. Anyone know anything about these rifles. Hate I have so many posts on rifles but I've been steered right on every gun I've bought with info from this forum.
