I had a Remington 700 in 7mm08 which I loved but have moved on to a browning a bolt stainless in 270 and have mounted a bushnell 4200 elite 3-9x40 on top with some nice leupold rings. Looking to register first deer with it this weekend but is a pleasure to shoot(despite a wee bit more noise than I am use to). Action feels great, magazine design and feels really nice in my hands.
In regards to my dad he has a 30+ year old Sako ,not sure if hunter or forrester in 308 with a great old school leupold on it. Still has original pink butt and all blueing. Accounted for quite a few deer in the ureweras but still looks mint. Suppose if you buy quality and take care of it you do not need to replace your gear.
