Default RE: Looking For Better Rifle

I also own a couple of Remington 700 ML's, one 54 and a 50. I switched the 54 to the cabelas 209 kit but haven't had worked with it much to find a workable load useing the 209 kit. It shot great groups with the #11 caps but doesn't like that load with the 209's.
I just bought used the 50 this past spring. I was wanting to be able to work up a load and use it for years as it seems more dealers carry the same lines for 50's every year. It still has the #11 nipple, works well with CCI mag caps or Noble caps. I have had problems with the Remington caps.

Great investment was the bolt tool I bought at Gander Mountian, $10.00 with a cleaning cloth, brush and a bottle of solvent.

If you still want to sell that Remington don't let it go cheap. They are selling now for as much and more than new.

Thanks to sabotloader I'll be shooting a lot of the MMP green sabots and 240 HP XTP Bullets. Havn't got a deer with that bullet yet but have got a few with the XTP's and find no fault with them.

That Remington is a fine rifle, cleaning the bolt is a draw back to some. Never was to me and now that I have the tool It is even better.

But if it is new you want then the T/C Omega would be a good choice.
