I will add another vote to the X bolt in the 6.5. Its light enough, quick to point, all in all is one of the best handling rifles I have held. I find it goes with me a lot more often than the others. It will shoot right along with anything else out there.

Live each day as if it were your last. We know not at which hour it will come. Life is too short.Tell your loved ones each day how much you love them

This is why I hate to sell a gun. Sooner or later you miss it.

I agree I hated swapping it but did not want to end up on the bottom of a dead water somewhere so really needed the bigger boat.

So the models they have are junk, or they have special runs of defective guns made just for them? I would agree that they carry low cost entry level firearms. I would not believe that a Remington 700 ADL at walmart is any different than one you would purchase any place else.

I bought a 700 from Walmart two or three years ago and it's a fine shooting gun. No issues at all.

.280 or 7mm-08 in a Tikka or older Remington Mountain rifle.

My heart belongs to my family.
My body belongs to my work.
My soul belongs to the woods.

Those older remington mountain rifles are hard to find.
