That M700 Mt Rifle in Laminated Stock looks like a real sweetie.
I picked up a Rem M600 Mohawk in 308 Win at a local gun show here in NW Wa. It has a 18.5" barrel. My son killed his first deer at age 12 with it. It was light to carry and shoots real tight groups. In fact it shoots so well that quickly realized it was worthy of a high quality scope.
I down loaded my son's ammo for that gun from full power factory loads, and determined in my mind that we would only take a shot out to 150 yds. We went with 150gr Spitzers at 2700fps or so. As he grows up and becomes a better shot, we will "stoke-up" the load.
Do not over look the TIKKA and CZ rifles.
