RE: New Deer Hunter Needs Help w/ Gun Purchase.
Greets,
Rem 700 in 30-06 is a good big game gun. As for scope, I am the exception to the rule. Get what you can afford, if that be a Luepold or other higher quality scope good! one less problem down the line. But if it aint, just do like me and save your pennies for the day when your cheapie scope breaks. ( mine is a simmons, I had great confidence till I read here a bit, seems simmons doesnt have any better rep than Tasco ). Till that day comes my scope is good enuff. *(unless I come into the $$ to replace it sooner *G* )
Just my uneducated opinion!
