I just sold my Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .308 and I'm going to buy a Remington 7600 in .308 to replace it.
I've just never liked bolt actions, I've always just had one because it was the status quo.
Working the action requires removing your hand from the grip and it's awkward. Loading and unloading is also slow and awkward.
Having done most of my hunting in my life with my 870, it just feels most natural to me and I'm good with it, know it like the back of my hand.
So after mulling this over I figured the 7600 would be the natural choice for my .308 rifle. Magazine fed, natural and wicked fast cycling without having to remove the firing grip, familiar design to my beloved 870 and 10-round mags available if necessary, I think it's the obvious choice.
