    Look for a BSA CF2. These go real well in 7mm rem. You will pay about $600

    I have a sauer 100 in 708 i like it alot but you cannot change the barrels out easily, they are heat shrinked not screwed. Those bergara hmr look cool do they do magnum?

    Don't know about chambering for the bergara but the sauer 100 is a screw fit...the 101 and 202 are press fit
