Rem 700 7mm Mashburn Super Magnum/180 Scenars....the best example of rocket science efficiency and commercial impracticality in the universe.

I switch off between a Tikka T3 in .308 win. topped with a Leupold VX 3i 3.5 x 10 x 40 CDS and a Smith and Wesson 1500 rebored to .338 x 06 with a 2 x 7 Burris. The Tikka is set up for the Barnes TTSX 150 grain and the S & W likes the Barnes TSX 185 gr. bullets.
Accurized Remington 300 WinMag LH Stainless with laminated stock and VX3 3.5-10 50mm, hand load 180gr Accubonds. My go to rifle. It outshoots me at under .5 MOA. If I knew it was going to get so much heavier as I got older I might have made a few changes early on but at this point in my hunting career things are unlikely to change (except for it continuing to weigh more each year).
Of course but pillared, bedded, balanced and a shooter. Tough to mess with that. Same reason I won't mess with the loads. (and you know how parents are with their babies).Could always put it in a lighter weight stock. Most laminate stocks are pretty heavy.
Shoulda went 1-7. Still shoot everything you have, and the long monos if you go that way sometime. mtmuleyMthntr,
1-8 twist 3R, factory duplicate the barrel profile (about a #1 contour)...add one inch to finish at 23".
Try to treat this barrel better than the original, which shot very well. Used it for shooting gophers and had the barrel hot enough to light a marlboro off it several times.
I reckon I've got no fewer than 8 thousand rounds through it and surprised it didn't start throwing fliers before it did considering how I treated it.
