Rem 700
Glad you fixed your rifle. I have one like it. I've killed 6 mule deer, 3 elk, and numerous jack rabbits and coyotes with it over the years. How I got mine is a bit unusual. I was serving in the Navy on the aircraft carrier USS Ranger off the coast of North Vietnam in 1970. Word came around that some guys were starting a gun club on the ship. Well that seemed a bit odd, so I looked into it. What they were doing was getting together enough guys to make a mass buy of guns from Ruger, Winchester and Remington. The guns would be shipped directly from the factory to the armory on the ship. The price of a new Rem 700 ADL 30-06 was $75. I handed over the cash and several months later I got a call from a Gunner's Mate in the ship's armory. I went down there and hot-damn if there wasn't a green box with a beautiful new rifle in it for me. I fondled and drooled on it for a while and then handed it back. When we got back to the States I took it out of the armory, caught a cab to the Oakland airport, checked the rifle into TWA as luggage and flew home with it. She and I have had some great hunts over the years. Its original Bushnell 2.5-8 scope finally crapped out so I put a new Leupold Rifleman 2-7x33mm scope on it last year. I have cooked up some reloads (Hornady 180 gr. Interbond, 58gr IMR4831) that shoot about a 1.25" group @ 100yds. I used it to kill a nice 5x5 bull elk this past winter. I don't know if I'll have it thrown in the hole and covered up with dirt along with me when I die , or if I'll pass it on to my nephew. We'll see if he deserves it when the time comes.
