I'm not asking cartridge here. I don't care if you say "I'd take a Winchester 70 in every cartridge they made". I just want to know if you could only own one model of rifle which it would be? I like my Model 70s, but....

There have been 104 votes. The Winchester 70 is in 1st place with 38 votes Sako garnered 15 votes. Remington 700 grabbed 13 votes And the Ruger 77 got 11 votes
Those are your top 4.

Those are your top 4. NOT to be critical at all. I think that's reflective among people who can afford Pre 64s and older Sako-s. I also believe that the %ages from the buying public would be much diff based on affordability. All of that is MHO. Jerry

Thanks Sitka - That is the reason that RARs, Marlin X7 (?), & savages SELL--aka- are so popular. For myself personally--not to disparage anyone or the rifle...IF I could sell out and buy ALL rifles again now, I'm not sure at all that they would all be Pre 64s. IMO there are a FEW good brands today that aren't custom Jerry.

AN ADDENDUM:
I am an unabashed (unashamed) Rem 700 owner/user..however ALL of my 700s are OLDER. I bought my first 700 BDL in 1976 IIRC and in all these yrs I have NOT had ONE to give any problem at all.
There is ONE great feature of the OLDER 700s and that is the SIMPLE ADJUSTABLE trigger. There are 3 screws, 1 is the sear engagement (stay away from it). The other 2 adjust travel and weight of pull.
I have adjusted ALL of mine & a few for friends. NONE of those EVER gave any trouble. I have 2 in 7 RM and I'd put the trigger feel up against nearly any other trigger.
I have a Timney on a 98 Mauser that 'MIGHT' be just barely noticeably better. MIGHT ?
In reference to my prior post>>IF I was going to replace my rifles>> I would NOT replace these older 700s. There is nothing to be gained. They are accurate to boot!
These statements are based on my personal experience with MANY older Rem 700s.
Jerry

I was only looking for what knowledgeable shooters trusted most. I really don't care what your average joe is purchasing.

Actually, if this was about what is selling then the Remington 770 and Savage Axis would be stealing the show.

Yes Mike I understood the context. I also DON'T think that (we) those who participate here are ALL of those who are informed owners/shooters. Jerry *Edit to substitute those for 'we'.

Ruger 77 Mark II / Hawkeye stainless. I also like my M70's and a few others of different manufacturers, but the Ruger would cover everything from 22 LR through 416 satisfactorily. ---------------------------------------------------------------- I'm not asking cartridge here. I don't care if you say "I'd take a Winchester 70 in every cartridge they made". I just want to know if you could only own one model of rifle which it would be?

I have a '53 FN and can't see where any Mod.70 is a better gun. Like Finn said - " Make Mine Mauser".

I am a member of two gun clubs, hunt with a bunch of folks regularly, do gun repair and modification for a hobby (not professionally) and I have not run across many 770s or Axis owners. I guess it's the company I keep?

Older model 700 SA preferred here if forced to pick 1 only. Otherwise it could change from day to the next.

It says "IF" and under further review not a single vote for Ruger American... And this survey is NOT from the 'buying public'. But even here on the 'fire' CHEAP savages & RAR are often bought, used and discussed. That is the reason that RARs, Marlin X7 (?), & savages SELL--aka- are so popular.

Lefty shooters have fewer choices, and the M70 that everybody seems to love is pretty much precluded. I guess in that case I'll go with a Ruger M77.
