ORIGINAL: deer slayer Jr.
In my opinion the rem 700 .30-06 is the best deer rifle ever made i own one of those in bdl and i have a model 710 that i love which is inspiredd by the 700 and i also own the rem 7400 semi auto all of these guns do their job but i think that the 700 is perfect...what do yall think?
The old '06 will certainly do a good job killing deer, but it may be somewhatmore than is really necessary. Calibers like the .250 Savage, .257 Roberts, 6.5X54 MS, 6.5X55mm, etc., are all that is really needed for deer of any size.
In addition, while the Remington 700 is generally a serviceable piece, there are certainly rifles in this world that are a lot higher in quality. However, except for the Kimbers and Dakotas (plus the custom jobs), very few of these high-quality rifles are made in USA!! But if the choice were between a CRF version of the Model 70 Winchester and a 700 Remington, I would choose the Win. every time.
"
The best deer rifle is the one you are the most comfortable with, and confident in." TRUE!!
"
The rest is personal choice . . . you know: Ford or Chevy!"
If you buy a Remington, Win., or Ruger-that's the choice. But I would prefer aFerrari or Rolls-Royce. These are imported.........
