HEY THEIR, I BOUGHT A REM PUMP A FEW YEARS AGO IN 30/06 CALIBER, JUST HATED IT THE ACCURACY WAS NOT THAT GOOD COMPARED TO MY BOLTS, SO I TRADED IT IN BOUGHT A NEW REM 700 BDL IN 270 CALIBER NEVER LOOKED BACK , MY OPINION THE 270 IS THE BEST CALIBER FOR WHITETAILS IF YOUR NOT SET ON THE 308, JUST MY 2 CENTS WORTH, BY THE WAY I HAVE ALL LEFT HAND BOLTS ALSO , SAVAGE 270, REM 700 BDL, EREM 300 ULTRA MAG, HOPE THIS HELPS , GOOD DAY.
