ingwe, I think I was talking to you guys about this very thing in TX for my son. I still need to get him a rifle for Christmas. What caliber should I get? I want something that will kill pigs all the way up to large animals, mule deer or possibly even elk if we ever have the chance to get out west. He keeps telling me he wants a Rem 700 in .308, but if I can pick up one of these am I better off?


If he wants a 700 in .308, that's what I would get him. There are no real warts on the 700, and it will be his gun. My daughter wanted a 700 in .243 and ended up buying one. It is a solid gun and incredibly accurate.
