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

700's, JWB, Bulleit, Woman, Cash

Own several 700s along with several Leupold’s. No Toyotas prefer Chevrolet. Sig Sauer or Smith and Wesson. Hoyt bows for me. No atvs but Honda might make the cut if I did.

It's not. I also like Colt 1911's, Ford diesels, Yamaha ATV's, Savage rifles and Swarovski scopes.

But there is something wrong with you if you don't like the majority of the items in the original post.

Drive a F150, had a long bow back in the early '60s, killed a quail with it. Favorite long rifle is a flintlock.

You guys are strange.

1.700's- got lots
2.Reupolds several flavors
3.Teri is the Toyo truck lady
4.No 19's at the moment but a 27 is on the bench in the shop
5. There's a Mathews floating around here ...somewhere
6 Ain't got no Hondas (scuffing toe in the dirt)

I've got a 700, reloaded for it long before it was mine, wish I didn't have it and the BIL was still here, not likely to own a Toyota, do like Leupold, I have 1911's and SIG 220's all in 45, will likely own a Glock right after I buy a 270 which will be 'not in my lifetime', not much interested in bows, I have gone subsonic of late but the projectiles are much shorter, ATVs meh!!!!

We'll....to be honest, there haven't been any surprises as far as people with something wrong with them is concerned.

ltppowell;
Good evening to you Lt. Pat, it's been too long since we've chatted here, nonetheless I trust all is well with you and your fine family.

While I have nothing against Model 700's, I'll now have to admit that there are none currently housed at our rural property. I don't mind anything about them however, especially the ones from say 20 or so years back.

Since I'm thus far a "set and forget" shooter for the most part, by far the vast majority of the scopes on the "serious" rifles are Leupolds, though again they're not new production for the most part.

While discussing the truck topic on another thread, I suggested that the Tacoma has a cult like following up here in the Okanagan, but certainly the Tundra is much less so. Personally it's been years since I've owned a Toyota pickup and I can't really say that I appreciate all the ergonomics of the Tundra's interior - seats are a tad low in particular - but again that's a personal preference. I'm cognizant you've stated trucks, but for the record my daily driver is an '05 Corolla with 235,000 km on it and just this past week I finally had the brakes done for the first time..... oh, and other than that I've put in one serpentine belt and tensioner - I broke it changing the belt, 4 spark plugs and the heater/ac fan motor..... that's it!

As a Canuck who has been able to own "restricted class" firearms for nearly 40 years, I've shot a few Glock pistols, but prefer revolvers in center fire as it's easier to clean up the range afterward and to save the brass as well. .My buddy's who are LEO absolutely seem to prefer them to the Berettas they had previously though. Our provincial Conservation Officers use some sort of Glock in .40 and they must be decent as they're out in some pretty interesting weather conditions.

My buddy and hunting partner is maybe 7" taller than me and so I didn't expect much when I shot his then new Mathews Reezen. Holy cow was I wrong! Even not set up for me, I had to use a different point of aim for his expensive carbon arrows out to 30 yards as I came close to hitting the previous arrow otherwise. Please note I'm not currently a bow hunter, though there are a half dozen bows hanging in the garage as I type.... my time/space continuum hasn't allowed for enough practice time with anything that I'd feel it was right to hunt with one.

Lastly, here in the valley at least there's Honda ATV's and then there's everyone else. I know the local dealer quite well, our eldest actually used to work there and while he's a good guy, the Honda product seems to be very, very trouble free or give minimum issues anyway.

All the best to you and yours this fall sir and good luck on your remaining hunts.

I just had a revelation. BC30cal uses up *all* the politeness on the forum.

That's why everybody else on here is an azzhole.

I knew there had to be a reason. But up 'till now I just couldn't put my finger on it.

I wonder if you are like me and find a Bavarian Stock a natural pointer.

Could be. I've long wanted to buy one of those CZ .223 bolt rifles built on a mini Mauser action.

They've always looked like they would "fit".

Bristoe;
Good evening to you sir, I hope that your part of the world had a good Saturday and this finds you well.

Since you're well acquainted with Canucks, you realize that now you've left me no choice but to apologize for that, right?

Thanks for the kind thought however Bristoe and all the best to you and yours as we head closer to winter.

Dwayne

Dwayne...good hearing your text amigo.

Just pickin' at you because I think you're a good guy.

I always liked the 99s until the firt time I picked up a Sako Finwolf. No other lever comes close. Mine was in 243 and I was the guy w/ one rifle until I destroyed it in a nasty fall.

I took the FNs out today, tomorrow the 700s go out to play. I have a 700 Classic 35 Whelen and a 700 SPS Big Game 375 H&H both have factory stocks and triggers.

I bet you even have a Yeti cooler....


Lol.

1 out of six, here -Lleupold scopes, GM trucks, don't own a Remington 7 or 700, Yamaha 4 wheeler , Polaris UTV, and don't shoot bows.

I prefer the Winchester action, but hunt with a 1981 Remington classic. I can shoot it offhand better than anything else because of the way the stock fits me and the slightly heavier barrel than the featherweight gives it better balance. So far I have managed to escape those chargin deer. I prefer Leopoldo scopes , they seem the best in my price range.
My truck is a gmc, but my beater car with 313000 km on it is a Toyota. In Canada we have a prime minister who is totally against legally owned handguns, but says practically nothings about the illegal ones. We just finished an election where his views became known. I don't know where this puts mr in the four out of 6 game. Some shoul qualify for 1/2 points
