[QUOTE="Petras, post: 302458, member: 216"] Nothing wrong with a weatherby. I've had a couple and still have one of them in a .223 H-Bar. It's a great gopher/coyote gun with it's 20" bull barrel. First one I ever had was fine after I did a bit of work to the stock to free float the barrel. That being said, I bought my wife a 6.5creed in a Browning Hells Canyon Long Range Hunter and it does not suck at all to pack around. It is about 2 ounces or so heavier than the gun you are looking at, but it's a great shooting gun and my wife hasn't complained about packing it around... While they don't offer it in a 7mm mag, they do offer the Browning X-Bolt Stalker Long Range Hunter in 7mm mag and Cabelas has them on sale right now for $629 and it is exactly the same weight as the MeatEater your looking at. I have a rem 700 in 7mm mag and it loves 168 Berger VLD Bullets. If you reload I would look into those as Berger VLD's have been very easy to get to shoot out of every gun/caliber I've ever tried them in. On top of that, they perform very well on whatever animals your shooting with them. One thing I noticed is that the $999 price tag for the MeatEater doesn't include the MuzzleBrake. It's another $60, which in the grand scheme of things isn't much, but just thought I'd point it out so you didn't order it expecting a brake. Personally, I would go with the browning, and stick the money you save into as good of a scope as I can get if I'm intent on spending my max budget. [/QUOTE]
