I'm with Mikey. The Remington Model 700 is a great gun. I have the full size with the long barrel. I would fight shy of the BDL models though if you are hunting in a climate that can get real cold. I've heard that the teflon coated bolt sticks when it gets down to freezing, especially if there is moisture in the air. I've never had one, mines an ADL, and it may be something that has been fixed on the new models. But for the price of a Remington 700 that is synthetic you just can't go wrong. They aren't the most expensive or the most accurate (meanin tack drivers, cause mines plenty accurate); but with the right shooter you can put them wherever you want them and never have to worry about it missfiring or just plain fallin apart.
