720 and the 30 Express. The best Remington rifles ever built... All the rest were/are POS...  You're about as demanding of hunting rifles as Savage_99. And you've both posted the same amount of game photos too.  That's going to leave a mark.

Love mine! Too bad they built them in SA.

Not so many really, their 22 line up isn't near what it was 50 years ago. A modern hepburn singe shot sort of like the classic series with a new chambering ever year would be nifty. They could reintroduce the parker sxs too.

260Remguy: I have missed the longest their Remington 700 Varmint Specials in 222 Remington.
But the line of Remingtons I miss the most are their amazing XR-100 Rifles in all the original calibers it was offered in.
I actually fear Big Green going our of business in the near future.
They keep making mistakes and poor decisions let alone how amazingly over-priced their centerfire bolt action Rifles have become and they will soon be defunct.
And that would be a shame.
Come on Big Green get your heads out of your asses - PLEASE!

To be fair, here are some Remington rifles that I don't miss.
673
710
What styles do you miss or don't miss?
Had a 673 350RM, warne model-7 bases, LEU qrw rings, LEU 1.5-5 #4 scope, three cases of ammo, dies and components. That was when I was managing kill permits avg about 30 whitetail per year. Took about a dozen deer with it over a few years, and tried very hard to dislike that rifle. It was not particularly great at anything. Ended up getting rid of it in favor for a stainless Ruger version built off their short mag rec. The Ruger had a bigger mag box for loading old school 250 grain loads. After the 673 was gone, I missed it. Though it was not particularly spectacular at anything, it was pretty good at most everything, it was rather unique, and kinda looked neat. Shot well from field positions, and always killed stuff. The guy that got it, kept it set up the same, and still kills stuff with it every year. Has a lot of character now.

I've thought this for a while now.

rem141r - +1 on M600 love. Mine's in .308Win...refinished the stock so it didn't feel like I was carrying a 2X4. Worked great as my jeep rifle. Homesteader

livefastjohnny - "but I miss the 798's". Amen to that. Mine's the "Safari" in .458Win with really nice bluing, special laminated stock w/great figure (wife keeps saying she'd like to have a dinner table with wood like that). Shame that Rem did away with them. Homesteader

I didn't like the vent rib on either the Remington 600 or the 673. Since I use scopes, I don't want superfluous open sights if not having them is an option and I don't ever want a vent rib and an oversize sharkfin front sight.
