[QUOTE="SDMF, post: 276447, member: 412"] Barrett can be had for $1500-$1600. You'll get: 1. Chamber and mag-box confines properly mated 2. Most chamberings offering twist rates that allow one to use the "latest and greatest" high BC bullets with enough RPM that the next round of high-BC R&D will be useable as well. 3. An excellent fiberglass stock that's individually bedded to the bbl'd action. 4. Factory installed Timney Trigger. Unless you already own the 700, you can't source the action, barrel, trigger, bottom-metal, 3.1" mag-box (Short action), have them assembled (including bedding the stock) and spend less $$ without doing at least some or most of the work yourself. Then factor in that the Barrett is going to be ~2# lighter than a 700 and it's a no-brainer. I've been on 15 elk hunts and 1 mountainous Mule Deer hunt and certainly never wished for a rifle that was 2# heavier............. [/QUOTE]
