Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire I like Remington Rifle 700's

Weekly Toyota / Honda troll topic to make sure the names Toyota/ Honda keeps getting viewed in the forum.

I like 700’s, got 8 or 9, like Toyota’s,but own Dodges now. Got a couple Glocks, prefer PSE and Polaris.

3's the best I could muster.......

I like Toyota but parts are spendy IME and I drive a Ford.

I think I like all of those things.


Never had a Glock in my hand though. Probably like them.

I hate the Savage 99 almost as much as I hate the AR-15!

Remington 700, the best single shot, bolt action rifle made.

why?

I like Toyota, I like Glock, big fan of Honda ATVs and if i bow hunted id shoot a Mathews...but I don't.

So I've never owned a Toyota or any kind of ATV.

However I've got Leupolds on many rifles, shoot a Mathews bow. a Glock, and have been shooting 700's since I bought my first one in 1967.

Before that my long range weapon was a Sav 99 in .32-40 and still shoot a .300 Savage plus a couple Winchester 94's.

Both are in the running for ugliest rifle ever made.

Pulled my LH 1980 270 Rem. 700 BDL with a 1980 Leupold VX II 2-7X out of the safe last week after it had been sitting in there for over 7 years.
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.

Oh, I don't know about all that.

That's a fine looking 99, beautiful wood, but I bet it ain't factory.
I had a first year 358 99, great shooter, but when someone made me an offer of $1,200, it went home with him.

Are you selling that one?

A man of obvious experience and discriminating taste....and theres so damn few of us left....

I doubt anyone would want to pay what it's worth to me. Point is, they're far from ugly. Some of the most beautiful rifles ever designed and built, and far far ahead of their time. Still accurate even by todays standards too.

So how is Matthews superior to a Hoyt? Asking for a friend....

...........Well let me see here....I don't own a Remy 700. Prefer CRF and 9 lug MK5 Bee actions.....Strike 1......Have Leupy scopes....Ball 1......I am a Mopar guy liking Ram trucks with Hemi engines......Strike 2.......Don't own a Glock 19......Strike 3. ..I'm out.......Don't bow hunt or do any ATV 'n.......There is a lot wrong with me then....lol.....

The Glock 19..... if I could only own "just one handgun"...... ........I'd have to get my son to give it back


Rifles? A Mike Brook's Trade Gun would rock In a couple of years if'n I still got the ears to do it I'll use my bird survey money for one.

I like Tacomas (might buy one next year),

No opinion on ATV's, but Honda anything generally rocks.
