Okay, I found myself in a unique situation this evening. I ran down the street to a buddy's house to give him a few things from last weekend's outdoors shows and we start talking about his hunting season, guns and whatnot.

When I made mention that I was looking for a .270, he went on about how they are great rounds, etc. Thenhe told me that if I wanted, he'd sell me his 30-06. So okay, now I'm intrigued. With that in mind, I tell him that fund are limited at this point (baby due in April, etc.) and he understands. So, he goes over to his safe and pulls out his Remington 7400, throws a clip and some ammo at me. Basically tells me to take it. Well, obviously I'm going to pay for it (nothing's free). We don't come to a number - even though I'm down there long enough to annoy my wife.

So basically I've read some reviews and whatnot and am looking for the personal opinions of the members of this site that have or have owned them at one point. What's the good, bad and otherwise about the 7400?

It's gota few years on it (but in mint condition)and it's the high-gloss wood stock that he's kept a protective cover on (not a single scratch). I'm not a big fan of the high-gloss, but I'm not going to pass up a good deal, pending what he decides he wants for it.

So, if you don't mind sharing your opinions of this rifle, I'd greatly appreciate it.
