Weaver still makes a base for it and there are always some bases and rings on Gun Brokers. Ed's contenders has some used base and also some barrels Last time I talked to him he had new 7mmRemington mag. new and a used 270. I have a 87 which is the same gun less the set trigger and the barrels and stocks interchange. I love mine but you will need to get used to having to push the side leaver over till it stops and then push it a little more to get it to open, that is just the nature of the rifle. I load the 7mm to 7x57 specks or Hodgdon reduced loades and love the way it shoots. I have a 223 barrel also but it will not handle a bullet heavier than 55 grns because of the 1-12 twist. I think you will really like it.

my 26 inch 220 swift barrel will shoot sub inch groups at 4000fps all day long.
