It aint no Remington!

Rugers are US made too....

[The Duke]

So are Toyota's!

Oooooohhhh. If it was me I'd go for it. I'd play with the gun and see how it fits you. For me it was perfect.

I might try & get it then, Probably doesn't come with a scope?

You have a scope on yours?

[kstruckcountry]

My Savage came with a Nikon. I planned to take it off, but I ended up liking it enough that I kept it.

 

The Ruger had a cheap Bushnell that works great.

Google it its all over the web. But it apply to older guns

I have a Browning A Bolt .270 and Remington model700 .308, both stainless with composite stocks. Its a toss up for me, both have been awesome and perform flawlessly.

I think I'm gonna get a R-700 30-06 or Tikka 3 http://www.cabelas.com/product/Tikka-T-Lite-Bolt-Action-Rifles-Stainless-Steel-Barrels/706383.uts?avad=55963_b597ba93&WT.mc_id=al41227&rid=12&WT.tsrc=AFF

Tikka supposed to be BAMF, almost bought one last year but ended up with the tried and true 700.

[kstruckcountry]

I was looking at Tikkas too before I went with the Savage. They seem really nice.

I have a Tikka T3 in 300wsm and love it. Very accurate and well made. Bolt cycles smooth as glass.

[wurgs]

Fairly light though so kicks a little bit

[STINSAN3]

I might be getting one of these, have you guys heard about this gun?
You can change it from a muzzle loader to a rifle within seconds,

There is nothing wrong with the 700 as they are made now. Yes some of the older ones had issues. I am one of the guys who carried one in the .mil and no issues as long as they are handled correctly like any other firearm. My family used them for hunting for years. That said KS is on the right track. All the guys who worked in my circles as long gunners buy Savages now. You cant beat out of the box accuracy for price. I have my grandpas Remington 700 30.06 from the late 60s and no issues and some of the newer control round feed Winchesters Model 70's. If you want a pretty gun that shoots acceptably and is made in the USA I say go for one of the new made in USA featherweight Winchester model 70's in 30.06 It handles great, isnt too heavy and top it off with a 2.5-8x36 vx3 Leupold and you have an everything gun. I love mine. Shoulders nice.

 

I have 1911's and I prefer Colt for the name and resale but ive heard good things about the Remington R1. Good base model to start with. Springfields are great too. I had a kimber and had nothing but problems with it but others havent so that is my 2 cents.

This one isn't mine but is the same setup. I have a Montana Sling on it and I recommend checking them out too.
