I took the liberty of rewording a little. I like their mechanical design and the accuracy of the ones I've seen in action can't be disputed. But the aesthetics would be a matter of opinion, and to be honest I don't think they are all that pretty of a rifle. I would hunt with one in a heartbeat, though.

I can still walk so I have little interest in ATVs but Honda motorcycles rock. If you carry a Tikka while wearing a Glock and drive your Toyota to the outdoors you are probably one of the enlightened. mike r Don't wish it were easier Wish you were better Stab them in the taint, you can't put a tourniquet on that.

Japanese trucks are way down my maybe list and Leupold scopes are not sufficiently dependable or worthy of their cost I do like Rem 700s quite a bit, but NEVER engage the safety.

If you don't like at least 4 of the 6, something is wrong with you. I've had several model 700's. Nothing wrong with them. I prefer a Weatherby or a Winchester though. Leupold is my primary scope brand. Never owned a Toyota. GMC, Chevy and Ford. I'll pass on the Glocks. Don't currently shoot a bow. Honda ATV's...probably the best. My old three-wheeler is a Yamaha.

Grabbed a cheap box of 130gr Rem Core-lok that's also 7 years old. After I sighted in my 2012 MRC 308, with a 7 year old Leupold VX II_2-7 ( 3 shots 1 1/2" high, less than 1" at 100yd's) I reached for the old 700. 1st shot out of a 7 year old cold barrel, bang, DEAD CENTER bulls eye, second shot , bang, DEAD CENTER kissing the first shot. 3rd shot, about 1/2" high and just a tad left. Another 3 shots less than 1" Now, which one do I use on opening day ??? A 100 yd shot is very rare in my woods, usually a lot less. I have loved my Remington 700, but 7 years ago I had MRC make me a sweet LH 308 that's hard not to use. As far as trucks go, make mine a Ford, and Colts for any handgun. I find nothing to argue about in that post. Other than the MRC 308 I could have written it. Last edited by Mike_S; 11/09/19.

Killing a deer in close with a bow is very satisfying , more so than with a gun for me anyway.
