I am looking to purchase a new boltgun suppressor host.

I am looking for the following features.
16"-18" threaded barrel (prefer 16")
Sling attachments with bipod attachment stud
Ability to use detachable magazines (nice to have, not required)
Quality Stock
Good Factory (not great) trigger
Factory installed or included optic rails
Solid aftermarket support
I am trying to keep the rifle under $700, I already have a high quality optic and mounts so this is just pure rifle cost.

I am looking at the following rifles but can't decide what is best.
Model 700 SPS Tactical Bolt-Action Rifle with Threaded Muzzle
MVP Patrol - 7.62mm NATO
Savage 10FCP-SR

I was in the same boat, I've got a MVP patrol due in next week.

The ability to use M1A and Magpul mags was what helped my decission.

I can pick one up at Cabelas tomorrow if that is the route I go. I agree that the mag interchangeability is a HUGE selling point.

I just built a 16" AR10 and I really want a matching boltgun and having the same mags is awesome.

I hope Magpul makes a stock for the MVP at some point.

The only downside to the MVP is aftermarket support.  With that out of the way, one of my best investments  3 years ago was a MVP  in 5.56. It's seen more range time than any of the AR's.  Most of it suppressed, I did switch to a 1 piece rail.

IDK if it fits all your criteria but the Tikka T3 tactical is pretty nice
 


NVM way over budget

I have a Ruger GSR that I really like.

I would also take a look at the Savage Hog Hunter.

I love my SPS in .308.  Pretty soon it will be getting dressed out in MagPul.

I have a Rem 700 AAC-SD in 308 and have been pretty happy with it.   A two stage trigger would be nice but I can't stomach dropping $500 on one.  Hopefully Giessle develops a trigger in my price range.
The 700 is what you want based on your criteria.
Its in your price range, has a decent trigger after you pull the action to adjust a set screw, and the best aftermarket support of any centerfire rifle.

I got the Savage 10 P with the 18" barrel. Love it.

I plan on getting the MVP Patrol....one each in 5.56mm and in 7.62mm.  My next choice would be the Savage Hog  Hunter:

zastava "mini-mauser" in 7.62x39 would be my choice, no detatchable mag though.

$370 at JGsales so plenty left for mods and such.

Nevermind, congrats on the new rifle
