In my opinion Remington is the best "hunting" gun because all of them are as rugged as you would ever need take for example an 870 ive known people that have backed over there 870 with a truck and picked it up and shot it and gone about there business. I also think that any gun company makes good guns but like for some one in my financial class a remington is hard to beat for the price if youve got a lil extra cash hell go on and buy a benelli or somethin real expensive but i have 3 remington guns outta 7 and 2 of those are rugers and there just as great and the other 2 is a 357 tauras and a SKS. and all of my guns shoot great. So for a hunting gun a real "hunting gun" get something that you can afford what ever it might be.
