almost without exception, the bullets we have loaded since the mid 60's have been made by Nosler .... every hunting bullet we've fired over that time period was made by Nosler ====> https://www.nosler.com/nosler-rifles/ .... back in 2005 they started producing bolt action rifles and I've followed them every since .... from all I know they are extremely well made and yes, for my pocketbook, they are expensive .... if I was in the market for a bolt action rifle today, being old school and preferring wood stocks, I'd save until I could afford one of their Model 48 Heritage Rifles ====> https://www.nosler.com/m48-heritage-rifle .... the only question would be, what caliber ?

Because I live in the 'neighborhood' of Nosler, and have used their bullets for years I can appreciate them entering the quality rifle market.
I have never actually seen one but they look nice in the pictures and I am sure they are very high quality with great reviews.
I might have to stop in sometime and take a look at one.

.308 or maybe .243? Most definitely wood.

I like the specs on their 338 Win Mag .... the concept of sending 200 grain'ers down range with a muzzle velocity of 3000+ fps and 300 grain'ers at 2500 fps is really attractive

It would be in 30-06 and made by Ruger, wood or not wood. Best bang for the buck.

Of course, my 4 sporterized M1917's would not want to take a back seat to a newbe.

Most and a work in progress, bottom - Grandad's 30-06, middle - 30-06 AI, top - 280 Rem :

Like your grand dad's the most.

If I were In The market for a bolt I'd most likely opt for an early Remington 700, and possibly in the 'Classic' variation as I owned one once in 7mm Mag.
It was literally one of the most accurate rifles I have ever owned, as well as very well made with excellent fit and finish.

totally agree about the early 700's .... I have 2 -- a BDL chambered for 300 WBY Mag and an all weather stainless chambered for 30-06 .... sadly I can't say the same for today's 700's .... that's one of the major reasons that for a new bolt action, I'd go with a Nosler

Last year a friend of mine traded a Model 7 in .223 for something at a LGS - and one day when I was in the store I saw the rifle and looked it over and have to say I was pretty impressed for a late model Remington - very nice overall - including the wood.
This was probably an iscolated exception with one of the higher - end Remingtons.

as best I can remember the Model 7 came out in the early 80's .... we used to think of them as a Model 700 carbine ... they proved to be a favorite among guys who hunted fringes of the Smoky Mountain thickets

Problem - 28 Nosler !

interesting discussion .... I'd sure like to hear how it all shakes out

I have a Nosler M48 Custom in 280 Ackley... expensive, took almost a year to get it (had it about 3 or 4 years I think)... but worth it.

I've shot a lot of guns, but I've never handled one more consistent than that one.

It goes where you point it...I plink clay pigeons at 600-800 yards with it.
