I have owned two Remington automatic rifles in .30-06 and one Browning automatic .30-06. The Remingtons and I have long been parted and the 1977 Browning will never be sold. It is an excellent field gun. The Remingtons jammed and the Browning does not. I would pay the little extra money and go with the Browning. Another problem with the Remingtons is that the bolts are hard to shut and I have known people to snap their guns on deer. The Browning bolt opens very easily and closes without effort.
