Thanks Evan, but thats too much gun for what I need. My pencil barrelled 700 BDL is cut down to 20" for faster handling and less weight. I dont know what Id do on a calling stand when a pair of coyotes drop in at warp speed with a 26", Heavy Bbl, 9lb rifle.

Thanks again. I do appreciate the thought. That would be a good prarie doggin gun though. Like the looks of it.....

ahhhhh come on

Hey Andy, I have a REM 700 Classic in 17REM. They came with 24"
tubes. I think that I get a little more zip than the 20 & 22" pipes.
I found a REM factory syn stock in the bargin cave at Cabelas for
$60. That way I can save the absolutley gorgeous dark piece of
wood that came on it. See if you can find one of those classics.
After I put the syn stock on it is about the the perfect 17 for
calling. IMO.

what about the rem 700 lv sf, i think its chamberd in 17rem. would be perfect for a handy all around varmit rig.

though i think id rather try the rifle in a 223 or 204.
