I would like to purchase a Sigsauer SHR970 in 7mm Remington Mag. The rifle has the wood stock (gorgeous) and I can buy it for $488 "out the door." The price seems about right, but I can't find an on-line source for a 300 Winchester barrel, or for extra magazines. Sig still sells the barrels and magazines, but they want over $400 for a barrel! Anybody know of a source? Also, the trigger is pretty heavy and the manual says don't adjust. Can a competent smith get that trigger down to 3 pounds? If anyone owns one of these rifles, I would like to hear your opinion. Many thanks, Stoney

Stoneybrook,

Just bought one with the synth. stock for $419 from Guns Unlimited in Omaha, 300 Win Mag. I don't know if they have any 7 Mags, but even their wood stocked guns were only $440. Right out of the box it did 1.25" 3 shot 100 yd groups with cheap factory rounds. So, I'm thinking with a little work it should be a shooter. I dinked with the trigger but haven't really figured it out yet. I'd say the trigger is fine really, not super light but crisp. I didn't buy the gun for its switch barrel capability, but I would also be intrigued with the options. I had figuered out that the extra barrels were scarce/non existent, at least for a reasonable price, But I haven't really researched it. Bottom line, I like the gun a lot.
