So I've been lurking around here for a little while, and just came out to ask for some experienced opinions...
I recently got back into shooting, after leaving the Navy almost 10 years ago, I haven't shot much of anything until recently.
Anyway, to get to the story, I was at a friend of my fathers house, and he asked when I was going hunting with them, so I said... "whenever y'all go" and I got a date for a hunt... I don't own a rifle I thought next, and called my father to ask if I could take his Remington 700 SPS 7mm Rem. Mag. out to the range to familiarize myself with a rifle again. He came to pick me up because he was going out there anyway, and we headed to Academy for what I thought was an ammo run, and ended up leaving with my first gun, a Remington 710 .270 (I know, y'all don't think it shoots worth a ****...) and it turns out it shoots really good. Anyway, I went on my first hunt, and got my first deer, and am looking to buy another rifle, but don't know what to buy, I presently have a .270 so it doesn't make sense to buy another .270 right now...
I know I either want a 7mm Rem. Mag. or a 7mm-08 in a Remington 700 CDL, Browning A-Bolt Hunter or a Remington M77 Hawkeye...
Sorry about the long post, thanks for my first post, great wealth of information here and thanks for your opinions in advance...
