RE: What do you consider to be the best gun brand?

I have a Win model 70 and Remington modle 700 adl. Both are accurate and dependable. I just bought my son a H&R in .243. It shoots like a champ. I would say overall, I prefer Remington for rifles.

I Gutshot - not to confirm the old and stupid comment, but I believe shooting Turkey with a rifle is illegal in all 50 states. I would recommend sharing that shot on a public message board.
