Remington 770

get the nikon with the BDC reticule. It will have better lenses than either of your choices and a more useful reticule, especially for a 3-9x on a .270. It only costs around $159, when you install the bases and rings be sure to use thread locker. You wont have any problems with your optic.

Okay, I have done some research on this issue and believe I have the facts. Remington has changed owners several times and the current owner is Cerberus, (i.e. Chrysler, Marlin, etc. etc.) a hedge fund company. Cerberus policy and procedure does not support professional development through their dealer network letting potential buyers know the model 700 .270 is their signature gun but leave it up to each dealer to tell you whatever they want you to know. Responsibility for leadership/chaos is theirs and theirs alone. Too much to tell about poor leadership in America for this forum using binary opposition. The Remington model 770 .270 is designed to be a beginner gun for the novice hunter. It is inexpensive but Remington maintains it is accurate and safe to operate. This is supported with a two year warranty. It is unfortunate that any gun dealer would sell a model 770 .270 without telling you Remington's signature gun is the model 700 .270 and before you buy the model 770 you should go home and sleep on it but that is where leadership is at Cerberus, Remington and America today. While there are always exceptions they are getting fewer and farther between as time moves forward.

I suggest if you are going to buy a Remington .270 you get the model 700 and put on a piece of good glass.

so did you ever change out the free pos scope or not?

just curious cause its probably your problem all along

I've handled them before and feel, for the price, they get the job done. Nothing to write home about, but accurate enough. Don't know how 'soldier proof' they are though. Plan to find out soon enough.

No not yet, I am trying to sell this gun first then if it doesn't sell I will work on it. I will keep everyone posted as to my progress with what I am accomplishing so no one is uninformed.

Remington 770
http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/centerfire/model-770/model-770.aspx
It’s the latest, greatest edition of out-of-the-box accuracy and hunting performance from Remington – now in stainless steel with a rugged Realtree® AP™ HD™ camo stock. An upgrade of our famous Model 710,™ the new Model 770™ is the perfect choice for any hunter looking to fast-forward through the process of selecting a scope and components. It comes with a pre-mounted and boresighted 3-9x40mm riflescope. But most importantly, it’s built to our rigorous standards for accuracy and reliability. Simply choose your ammo and you’re ready to shoot.

It features the same great action and barrel as our Model 710 (based on the Model 700™) with super-accurate button rifling, and a more durable magazine latch. Other advancements include a new, ergonomically contoured stock with a raised cheekpiece for rapid scope-to-eye alignment, and grips are textured in all the right places for superior shot control. Offered in a selection of long- and short-action calibers, the Model 770 is the quickest route to legendary status, and a full freezer.

Did you get my PM Steve?

I seen this gun for sale and now the sale thread is closed. Is this gun no longer for sale? I won't be so quick to sell this gun until I took Lopenzi's advise and put a good piece of glass on this gun. While you are frustrated now just think how frustrated you will be when you find out no matter what gun you choose starts with a good scope and if you kept this gun you wouldn't be out the $50-100 you are selling this gun for now. Buy a good scope (I recommend the Nikon BDC), shoot different ammo until you get what works best in your gun, and learn how to shoot this gun. This gun will be no worse or better than any other gun if you do not perform the due diligence necessary with any new gun you purchase in the future. Good Luck

Okay, here is the outcome. Remington took the model 770 back and provided a model 700. Seems there was a manufacturing defect with the model 770 or something different I do not know but it did not kill deer at 75 yrds. and that was very frustrating. Now the model 700 has a burris 200162 scope mounted with leupold rings and I haven't had an opportunity to get out in the field and see how it shots but I expect it will be much different than last year. Thanks for everyones help. I appreciated reading all your input and ultimately it made a big difference in what I have now. I would also like to thank Remington for taking the initiative to look into my situation and offer me a satisfactory solution. Many thanks go to all the Remington representatives I spoke with in repair, customer service and management.

Remington 700

I recently purchased this 700 ADL .270 for $449 otd with a $40 mail in rebate (recieved it today) and installed a Nikon pro-staff about $150 i looked at the 770 and i am in no way a bolt action expert but comparing the two side by side, it was a clear choice wich was the better rifle.

Glad to see you got your Remington problem fixed. I will never on a cheaply made rifle,shotgun or pistol. The Remington 700's are great rifles in my book. Great glass makes all the difference too. Plus the mounts are equally important. Guys if ya'll want a good affordable rifle do the reseasrch so you do not get a lemon again. I got a friend who ask me about the Remington 770 today. I told him to stay away from those chaeply made Remington. I told him he would do better buy buying a Remington 700 with good mounts and great optics. There so good deals out there you just have to do you homework before you buy. I have a Remington 700 ML .50 cal rifle that will out shoot the Remington 770. I can go on but I will stop. See ya, Mike

you guys are wack! so much bashing without even giving something time. of course some of you may have and have the room to speak but for some of you its just dumb. original poster im sorry but your an idiot if you took a gun right out of the pack and went hunting with it instead of the range. maybe then you would have a halve full freezer. or maybe inspect the rifle to notice the absence of lube on the bolt. did you clean the shipping grease in the barrel and magazine. i am not a die hard hunter but i am a mechanic.... strange to bring that up i know but you guys sound like the import crowd versus domestics or euros. it seems like once someone likes their choice of car/rifle brand every other rifle has to be the same. even if its better it sucks... or it could suck but now its a crow bar. i own four 770 in 270,300,308 and the very fun 30-06 i say fun cause its my favorite caliber. the bolts do tend to be sticky at first but after a quick lube up and range time its smooth as can be. i could keep going but why bother. by the way my savage and marlin came with very poor bolts too nothing big but if a sticky bolt bothers you then it would have killed you

Certainly there has to be a used good shape ADL out there at a reasonable price. Before I would purchase a 770/710 I would get a clean mil surp and scope it: yes, I would rather even have a Nagant over the 710/770 That's just me.

 

[DIM]

Dick's had sale in February on ADL and SPS all had same Remington scope and they were all priced ad 399.99 plus 40 dollars rebate, I couldn't resist so I bought one 700 SPS in .223 Using Black Hills ammo this thing was punching 1/2 - 3/4" 5 shot groups after bedding its stock groups had shrunk to .25 - .4"

 

[Gunlover10]

What does it matter if it is ugly. It's a gun that does it's job.

 

[roc1]

I bought a Remington 700 ADL from Academy Sports for $350 so why buy a 770 for $329? The 770 is a cheap rifle with an even cheaper scope on it. now Savage has dropped to making the Edge which in pics appears to be the same type of gun. Both of these companies make great rifles still so why make the cheap junk? Save your money and get the 700 a complete different quality weapon.

Well I am extremley satisfied with my Remington 770. I have a .270 and just absoulutley love it. It has a pretty heavy kick but I am use to it. . Look, you should't put down another persons if they are happy with it. Be happy with your guns and let the others be happy with theres.

And on a happy note we can all go to bed.
