Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Remington Fans Your Favorite Model/Caliber Remington Rifle?

721 in 270win… it’s the only Remington I own. Grandpa bought it in ‘52, and I’d still be quite attached to it even if that wasn’t the case

DAMN! "Dream Forum realized" as just now noted! 23:15 hrs and needing sleep! Like double dose of Viagra and finding your "hot date" suffering puncture wound!
Definitely "deflating experience!"

I SHALL RETURN... (Promise or Threat, du jour!")
Best!

Well, the notable ones I'd like to have back include several 700 mtn rifles in 7x57 (2), 280 (2) and 270 (2). Also a couple 25-06 (classic and a 700 bdl) and a 700 classic in 6.5x55.
One I wish I had found, but never did, was a 700 KS in 270 or 280. Probably could have saved me a lot of $ and time going through dozens of other rifles!

I'd have to go with MOD 7s, currently own 3 of them:


.223 in a HS stock, with Timney trigger:



.260 Rem with PacNor 20" barrel and Manners EH8 and Timney:




.350RM in a manners EH8 Stock:



I'd like to find at least one more to customize, but the prices have gone stupid.

Wow, hard to pick a favorite! Probably my beat up 700 Mountain in 7x57, has an old 6x Leupold on it, just flat out works on PA whitetails!

About any BDL that will fit in a Mtn Rifle or Mtn. Rifle(esque) stock, think Grayboe Outlander. As for caliber, I can't say I have a fave at the moment but I do prefer short actions and no heavier than a sporter contour. A late 80's 3006 Mtn Rifle kicked off the love affair for that stock design and an old 700 18" barreled 222 started me down the Remington road. Wish I still had that one.

MikeS: Dang that Remington 700 KS in 300 Winchester magnum would be HIGHLY sought after in my neck'o the woods!
Lots of hike in over-night Elk Hunters hereabouts.

RAS: I also have enjoyed owning a couple of Remington 725's - but I never shot or Hunted with them. I just bought them as investments - and sold them to quickly!
And this - isn't the Remington Model 725 more of a "direct competitor" to the Winchester pre-64 Model 70 Supergrade than to a Featherweight?
Yeah I do so wish I had those Remington 725's back.
And indeed the Remington 700 Classics were just that - classy, simple and accurate Rifles. I often wish I had continued on my one time quest to get a complete collection of Remington 700 Classics. Got sidetracked a couple decades ago.
Only have 7 of them left.
Long live the Remington 700.

Troutnut: That is a dandy looking Rifle and obviously a very successful Hunting Rifle.
Good for you.
Great photo as well.

Ribbon checkering pattern BDL Varmint Special.

.24 caliber.

I have a few that I rank high on my "Favorite Remington list"

M30 in 30-06 (Don't have one but sure would love to)
Remington M1917 in full issue/ excellent condition, (again don't have it, but would love to)
Remington M141 in 35 Remington (have one, and have killed deer and antelope with it)
Remington M81 in 300 Savage. (have one and have killed deer and antelope with it too)

For local whitetails in the rifle areas I like this 760 carbine in 06

Or this 760 in 35 REM

In the shotgun areas it’s a 870 20 for my daughter and a 1100 20 for me

Out west when stuff’s farther away I like my 700 06

For turkeys it’s a 1187 12

Did I mention I Remingtons? Thanks for the new forum, going to be here a lot

Beautiful stock! Is that a limited run? I seem to remember an oil finished stock, but can't remember the details.

The 700’s are favorites. Which one???
I have a few Classics I’ve sold a few too. I can’t pick which one is best.
For 22’s 512P & 511P - but the 513T is the most accurate.
I have a 721 30-06 with its fourth barrel that looks like a 700 BDL with a different bolt handle. I’ve had that one maybe the longest and killed more big game with it than any other. It wears a stock that I shaped and inletted, bedded and added a fire-end tip and recoil pad..
I really like the 600 Mohawks and the 660’s I’ve had.
I have a walnut model 7 in 223 that is amazingly accurate. I had one in 243 just like it, but it’s gone.
I had a XP-100 in 7mm International - most accurate pistol I ever had.
One of my newest acquisitions is a 700 Mountain 7x57 that is one fine rifle. Maybe the best deer rifle??? IDK!
When pronghorn season comes along it’s an old ADL 25-06.
When elk season comes along it’s a draw between a 270, a 280, the 721 30-06, a 7mm RM or a 300 magnum. The 7mm RM has the prettiest stock.
Going for prairie dogs - uff da - I have a 223 that should be re-barreled but maybe the 22-250AI, the 204 is nice too. I like the 722 222 a lot. That sweet model 7 223 shoots under 1/2 MOA…
Then there’s my 6mm ADL with a Kevlar stock…

Asking which is favorite is like asking which one of my kids is my favorite or which one of the dogs i had is my favorite.

Mine is the Varmint Specials. I've had them all at one time or another and still have a few left I need to do something with. Also, the 541T,541S,581 are fun. Older 700's from the 70's and 80's. I can still remember going to K-Mart as a kid and seeing those beautiful Remington products on the gun rack.
