RE: My Last Remington
If you are looking to buy a rifle someday and haven't made up your mind, I recommend that you take a look at the CZ 550. These are rather inexpensive, priced comparable to Rugers, and also feature the Mauser claw extractor, single set adjustable trigger, and scope rings/mounts are included in the price. The one sample I have is a recently acquired 6.5x55, and out of the box it is unbelievably accurate. The walnut stock is not quite as dressy as some but is still very nice.
I just bought my first and second Remington 700 rifles this year, and next month will be taking my BDL .30-06 on a wild boar hunt. It is a wonderfully accurate rifle, but the Ruger I junked this weekend due to poor accuracy had some real nice features that I will miss, especially the controlled feed. I'll have to keep an eye out for the bolt snagging on the shrubbery and opening at an inopportune time.
