Ruger ranch rifle. Cheap, threaded, compact.

Definitely an option. They pretty accurate?
Also will likely cut the stock down cause I plan to likely throw a thermal on it.

Ruger has a little one. You can usually fondle one up at Gebos in Mckinney
R Hutch had good one the other day, not sure if he sold it. He is local

I used to have the Remington TACT300 and it was a good shooter. My son has the Ruger and it shoots just as good for half the price. It's lighter and has a better factory trigger too. He's shot a handful of subsonic ammo through it, and it shot great. The stock forend is a little flimsy, but I floated it until I couldn't make it touch the barrel. My kiddo can hardly miss steel at 400 yards with it now.
Haha yea I polished that thing for hours.

I have an AAC Micro 7. Shoots really well with subsonics and a suppressor, and with supersonics unsuppressed.

I currently run the heavy barrel Rem 700 in 300 blk out. It's been my go to rifle for the last 3-4 seasons, and will be again this coming season. I sold a Rem Model 7, or micro 7, and it was a nice. Thinner barrel than the Rem 700, and also threaded 5/8"x24. The Micro 7 was lighter and handier. The bigger barrel 700 has less recoil, but the blk out doesn't have much to begin with. I haven't tried the Ruger's, but I want to.

That micro 7 looks like a really nice rifle. Does it have a shorter stock? Would run this rig with thermal a lot so short eye relief for the most part.

Yes, it feels a little smaller than my full size Rem 700. The barrel is contoured down, and at the crown, ramps back up to a larger size barrel to fit the 5/8"x24 threading. I sold my Model 7 a few years ago, and it was a rifle a customer talked me into selling, that I really didn't want to sell. But he likes it, and I had another Rem 700 to shoot anyway. It was a good one.

RHutch has an AAC-SD M700 for sale in the classifieds. Includes a bunch of ammo. Seems like a good buy for someone in the market for 300 BO bolt gun

My personal favorite is probably the CZ-527. They can be had around the $600 mark.

Mine is a Rem 700 in a Manners stock and a Bushnell Elite Tac 10x40. I like thumping hogs in the mellon with 220s.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Not a bolt, but solves your eye relief issue. All factory from Smith & Wesson, comes with a 5R barrel and is crazy accurate with Chad's load up of Hornady SST bullet. I think it's about $1000.00.
An unethical shot is one you take, that you know you shouldn't.
