...those who slap a Leupy on an '06 and use them till the finish is worn off- with nary a problem I might add- are woefully absent from the conversations... Not absent.....but their opinions and experiences get lost in the din...They can't POSSIBLY know anything...  True dat Bob...and this is not to mention the rare devastatingly handsome individual with more practical experience on game than Karamojo Bell...who happily sallies forth with a 1.5-5 Leupy mounted on a push feed 7x57 and fills arks with wreckless abandon......  And not to mention, humble too

have had t/c products, remington, weatherby, howa, winchester, savage, and a couple mausers i had built. other than one ruger and one winchester, they would all stay sub-moa just about every time i went to the range. with handloads tailored for them and a stable rest, not much different. i'd say on average the savages and vanguards shot best, but not far behind were remington and t/c. so i'm not the type to pick only one and throw a fit about its qualities.  but i will rag on swampy now and then

My favorite is the optics forum...lots of good optics out there...but if yours arent GREAT, you just dont merit the bandwidth...the phunny part is that those who expound at length about miracle optics ordinarily do their shooting from a bench someplace...those who slap a Leupy on an '06 and use them till the finish is worn off- with nary a problem I might add- are woefully absent from the conversations... Sounds like the Leupy on my '06. It's been there since the mid 60's.

Yea,but I still won't have a Remington 700. I mean really,why would I go to the trouble to get it out of the safe,bag it, collect some ammo,drive to range to shoot and have the bolt handle fall off....WTF? and just sit there with nothing to shoot?
I 'll stick to my Rugers,Winchesters,Brno's and Mausers...
now,we can begin..."Fight Club"! Mdl 700 shooters don't fight. We just listen to everybody else whine.

Around here, people get bashed for everything else. Why should their choice of rifle be any exception?

Can anyone tell me why people get so upset when someone says something bad about the brand of rifle they use? I mean good Lord people it is just a tool. Don't get me wrong because I am a rifle loony through and through but I don't get my panties all bunched up if someone doesn't like a gun that I do. Can we grow up? Excellent point, maturity is not just a matter of age it's also in the mind, some never grow up..................Hb

A Model 700 is not "just a tool", it's the best in the world.

After some of the chatter about the [bleep] 700 ti, I felt like tossing mine in the dump.... Glad I reconsidered

It's like the old man you don't know, but got paired up with at the golf course to play a round with......if he's got a 30 yr old putter you're gonna get your azz beat.
