I doubt anyone would want to pay what it's worth to me. Point is, (I think they are) 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.
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 killed my 1st deer and elk w/ a 99 but have moved on. 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.

In your view, must be plenty wrong with me. I do not hunt/shoot with bow anymore and don’t know Mathews from Schmathews. 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.
...and Leupold scopes, Toyota trucks, Glock 19's, Mathews bows and Honda ATV's.
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.

Love Remingtons. Except you gotta replace the stock and the trigger! 3 rings of steel... yeah...?

That's ok. You've got some really cool old rigs.

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.
I find nothing to argue about in that post. Other than the MRC 308 I could have written it.
I like remington rifles. But I own a few other brands. Never bow hunted. No glocks. No Jap trucks or motorcycles. I do have a few Luepold scopes. Hasbeen
