Looking to build a relatively inexpensive "precision" rifle for target, varmint and general big game hunting applications. I could go the route of rebuilding an 8mm Mauser such as a K98 or M48 with a new stock and scope. I have thought about a .308 heavy barreled like a Savage 10FP. I considered a Remington 700PSS in .308, but since I recently got engaged, that option is out.
Walked into one of my friend's shops today and he had a used Savage 110 in 7mm Rem Mag, synthetic stock, excellent condition. Its got a trashco scope on it which I would dump. He said I could have it for $300.
First question, is this a good price.?
Second question, how are these rifles in general?
Third question, tell me about the 7mm Rem Mag as I am pretty unfamiliar with this round though it seems pretty popular.
cheers and missed y'all,
Hiram
