I found a minty rem 700 mountain rifle, blued, wood, 7x57... I’m on the fence, it sure is sexy.... yay? Nay?
PS, I hunt lots in one of the wettest locales, tend to take care of my shiit really well, don’t dunk em in cricks, so blued/wood don’t scare me

Get it, I just went through this. A NIB VLS in 260 Remington. Wasn't really looking for one, but at the price I could not pass it up.

Get it. You can always Cerakote it and drop it into a Ti or McMillan stock...ok I kid.
If the price is right and you want a mountain rifle, get it. You can always resell it here if you dont like it.

If you don’t dunk it in creeks next to salmon with bright colored electric tape around scope caps and ruin the stock by some sort of cheese Di*k wannabe bad as* name. Then it’s not worth it . Hint......................
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Not normally a Remington fan but, that rifle would be near the top of my list. If you like it and the price agrees with you I don't see any down side.

I have one. Bought it quite a few years ago with a Leupold scope for $150.00. Nice shooter. Only problem is my gal shot it and decided it was hers.

I’d bet pretty good money that while you’re on the internet claiming to have “ejection problems” with just about every rifle, breaking off bolt handles and blowing up every Leupold you touch, Jud will be using said combo to stack up dead stuff. The only rifle I’ve ever regretted selling was a 270 Mountain rifle. Bought it yet Jud? I found a minty rem 700 mountain rifle, blued, wood, 7x57... I’m on the fence, it sure is sexy.... yay? Nay?
PS, I hunt lots in one of the wettest locales, tend to take care of my shiit really well, don’t dunk em in cricks, so blued/wood don’t scare me Id fn buy it, especially if it had a leupold sitting on top. That be the most winningest combo i could imagine.

Kinda a clusterfuuck, found it in Cabela’s gun library. The Cabela’s that has it is open, ours is not. Soooo, I had it shipped out here to ours, to hold until it opens back up. No thang, plenty of time to play with it this summer. Here she is.
