Thread: What Remington??

Hi All a mate of mine is looking for a new gun probably a 270 and is considering a 770 series remy. Your thoughts Please.

Nooooooooooooooooo! He will hate a 770, probably the worst built rifle i have ever handled, a norinco is better.

Seriously save another couple hundy and get a howa, vanguard, savage, marlin etc.

I promise you will regret getting a 770!

Model 700 is the only remington option here. I have two!

Just in case your not getting the general theme....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOO......don't buy one. Its like the Lada of the rifle world.

sweet will pass this on is there any good Remington model??

Yep, 700 or Model 7, the older models like 788 are good too, so basically everything else is good except the 770 POS!

Rather get a decent second hand rifle than a new 770.

Agree, 700 or 7. Just don't get a 770

I agree with all above I have a Model 700 and its smooth and crisp, Ive shot with my mates 770 and its a pig of a thing would rather a lee enfield with open sights..Honestly I would.

Agreed by me too - they will still shoot deer, but just not worth the potential hassles

I wait with baited breath for these potential hassle's and if they happen I will go back to the seller and seek reparation. So far Happy camper here

Hey 3 shots and only two deer. Told you they were no good

I didn't use a rest, the second shot was to only support Jazz and encourage her.

it will kill deer.
