1957 vintage Husqvarna 1600 lightweight Rifle
VERSUS
A 2005 vintage Remington M-700 Titanium Mountain rifle.
57 Husky (400 import model) front sight, side peep sight holes ready, Steel and wood. Double set triggers, Redfield one-piece scope base, 5 shot magazine. With the sling and scope mounted = 7.25 pounds
2005 Remington M-700 Titanium Mountain rifle. Scope mount holes only, no front sight, stainless barrel, titanium action, fiber, kevlar, foam stock.
With sling and the exact same scope it weighs 6.75 pounds
(Both rifle weights with the same scope mounted) I moved it over from the Remington.
PHOTOS: Best load with cold barrel and the dreaded rapid fire hot barrel group. The last photo is the M-700 Shooting 165 grain fail Safes. the same ammo that shot a .75 inch group in the Husky shot a 8 inch group.
Husqvarna: $450 about two weeks ago base cost, plus scope, mounts, recoil pad and some bedding work due to an age split.
Remington: $1,150 back in 2005 base cost, plus scope, mounts, bedding work. Plus the stock broke and now I have to buy another...
Sometimes new and expensive is not better.
