Louiethedrifter: I am so happy for you and your new Remington 700!
But for me I feel just a bit sorrier (is that a word?) - I had a chance (over a period of three weeks) to purchase a Remington 700 Long Range in caliber 25/06 Remington a couple of months ago.
I kept procrastinating and procrastinating and finally a more intelligent person than I came along and bought it.
It was at a small sport shop that is actually an add on to a gas station and hardware store here in SW Montana.
And it actually came under a week long 10% off everything in the store sale - again I am a fool, never mind that I have two other 25/06 Rifles already.
IF... another Remington 700 Long Range in 25/06 comes along I am going to buy it irregardless of cost.
Again, I am so happy your new Rifle is shooting so well.
Good for you.
Hold into the wind
