RE: Which one and why?
The results have kind of surprised me actually.. even though I stated INLINES;
traditional rifles got two votes.
The White Rifle got two votes as well which is not a surprise. They are not well known but those that know them love them.
Thompson Center who I figured the overall favorite TIED with Remington 700ML, with three votes each.
The Remington is one rifle I have never had the chance to shoot or handle. Although I have shot a Remington 700 BDL .308 with a bull target barrel, and a BDL 30-06 quite often.
Another surprise was Knight. With two votes, I really thought it would take the lead and be THE most often selected rifle because of the money being allowed.
Winchester showed up with one vote, as did Savage with one vote.
So for the 14 people that gave their opinion, Remington model 700 ML and Thompson Center were the ones most favored in the scenario.
