With all due respect Shooter I would prefer something other than a Rem700. That is the only gun I have ever cut up and thrown in the lake. Absolutely hate the things.

fr_freak go to a gun shop and try both the 700 and a Browning A-bolt see which one you like best (fits you best).

Well, the new owners of Winchester are making the model 70 again.

Please. The first gun I bought was my 700 30.06. Still only needs a compass mounted on it to shoot groups to 300 yds and more. My 700 .308 tactical shoots better than I can hold it, even with surplus FMJ loads.

Now I don't claim to be a great shot. But I have out shot every braggart I ever came across. And usually with that 30.06. My favorite 165 gr handload shoots pretty tight for a sporter weight barrel.

if you end up looking at stock bolt guns, you gotta check out the savage tactical rifles. i’ve got a 110fp, cost is comparable to a rem 700, and less than an A-bolt, and it shoots every bit as good as either of them, if not better.
