So with hunting season getting closer I have started thinking about maybe investing in a .308 bolt action. I do not have a .308 rifle currently. So this would give me a reason to add another caliber to my collection which makes me smile.
I though about doing this last year as well but ended up not doing it for reasons I don’t quite remember.
I am thinking about a Remington 700 but have been hearing about QC issues with Remington products and wanted something that will last longer than me. I am also thinking about maybe a Winchester model 70. I think I want to stick with a walnut stock and a blued barrel. I am looking to stay in the sub $1000 range which may make the model 70 difficult.
I am looking for opinions. I am also wondering if anyone here has bought a Remington 700 in the past year or so and could speak to whether they have fixed the QC issues since the bankruptcy.
thanks in advance for the help and keeping the chat civil.
I know better than to ask you guys to talk me out of something but talking me into something is something you are all very talented at
