Recon, Wal-Mart can order rifles as well and if you can find a store that will order them for you their prices can't be beat. Let me know what price you can get the VX for. 2 stores have priced me the VX II @ $299.99. Bass Pro and H&S Hunting both.

That is a fair price on the scope, what are they quoting you on the rifle? An option is to buy one on GunBroker and have it shipped to your FFL. If they charged 25 bucks to receive it and it was 30 to ship it you would still save by not having to pay taxes.
My only other thought at the moment is to get a good hard case and lens covers.

I stand corrected, I thought the 70 was the preface to the 700. Again, this is obviously YOUR game as you seem to know what you are talking about far more than I. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I have been shooting my entire life, but then again, I am 24. I am sure you have far more years in "the game," so Im all ears. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> The 700 is claimed to be the best action and rifle ever built though. This is claimed by Remington and many shooters around the world. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Reconseed, I meant no disrespect to you, only wanted to point out that the Win Model 70 is not a variant of the Rem 700. I believe I stated more than once that the Rem 700 was an excellent rifle. I own several of them and I have three benchrest rifle built on 700 actions. I have also used the Rem 40X as a Sniper rifle platform in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Model 70 is the most legendary rifle on the planet, partly because it has been around way longer than the Rem 700, and partly because it is an amazing rifle. It also won the "Rifle of the Century" honors. I would say that's pretty high praise. Didn;t mean to upset you, I was only trying to help. You seem to have a bit of a chip on your shoulder, I apologize if I knocked it off.

Just dropped in on the thread and sounds interesting for sure.

Well so far it all seems a bit up in the air, and when its like that, that means versatility is a high point.. stick with the .30 cal, there's way to many options, from tossing out 224 sabot rounds from it, to the heavy 200+ grain projectiles. If you want magnum, bypass that 7mm, the 300 can do everything it can only better. as far as models go, thats a tough one, I'd personally favor the Win Mod 70, I just bought another Rem 700, but the win's action just seems nicer, always has to me, its a coin toss though and ya can't go wrong either way.

im going with the 700 XCR for sure. Im not unsure about the model, just the caliber. But I have pretty much decided on the 30.06

The Model 70 is a fantastic rifle but they may be alittle hard to find. A fellow I know pretty well has been collecting Winchesters for over 30 years and always has some pretty toys to bring down to hunting camp. Hate to throw this in there too but the Mall Ninja in me has been loving this, looks alittle ungainly though. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2008/12/21/savages-new-sniper-rifle-model-10-bas/Its a new rifle for 2009 and was just released at the shot show, interested to hear what shooters think of it when it comes out. I don't like pistol grips because they cause you to squeeze the trigger with your whole hand instead of just with your finger, I don't know I probly would get used to it.

A lot of people underestimate the Savage bolt actions and that is a mistake. They kind of remind me of ScrapYard knives. You get a lot of "Bang"(pun intended) for the buck. I have a Savage 10FP and a 110FP that shoot ridiculously well right out of the box. As a matter of fact, the 10FP in .308 shoots better with factory ammo right out of the box than just about any non custom rifle I have ever seen. They are serious shooters.
