    worth buying a used Rem 700 .270 Win for $300?

    Re: worth buying a used Rem 700 .270 Win for $300? Those are some very interesting choices. I'm especially curious about the 9.3x62 and 338-06. I think the goal would be to build something that can knock down elk, moose or a bear if I had to and do it from a reasonable distance. That would...

    worth buying a used Rem 700 .270 Win for $300?

    Re: worth buying a used Rem 700 .270 Win for $300? Thanks guys. I think all I needed was a bit of reassuring that the value was there. I plan on using it to kill a few whitetails this fall and then maybe in the spring I will start the build process. What about something larger than a 30-06...

    worth buying a used Rem 700 .270 Win for $300?

    Found a used Rem 700 .270 Win for $300 today. I've used the 270 platform for hunting in the past and its good enough, but the goal would be to build on this in the future. I was originally out looking for a .308 to work with as an all around hunting and shooting weapon, but this gun has peaked...

    Re: Lighter Hunting Rifle -- Who makes the best? That Tikka T3 Lite for $525 out of the box sounds like a decent deal. At that price you could add some nice goodies to the package...

    Cheap Savage Edge XP....worth anything?

    Re: Cheap Savage Edge XP....worth anything? Those are all good suggestions. I've been looking around for some used Rem 700 and Savage 10 packages and there seems to be a decent amount available. I'll probably go that route and then build up later. After going to a couple more gun shops today...

    Re: nc and sc range New to the HIDE so I guess I missed all the good shooting in NC/SC so far. Hopefully, I will be around the next time people gather for some leisurely shooting and fun.

    Cheap Savage Edge XP....worth anything?

    I'm trying to get something on my shelf other than a 22mag and 357mag revolver and found the Savage Edge XP 308 to be a reasonable price. I just need something to get me through this fall/winter before I move to a more permanent rig that I can use for target as well as hunting. Has anyone...

    22 WMR

    Re: 22 WMR Thanks all for the responses. I figured it was just cost restrictive. Since this weapon was given to me I'm not out the initial cost so I'll just burn a couple hundred in ammo and then start looking for a less expensive platform for practice over the long-haul.

    22 WMR

    I haven't seen much discussion about 22 WMR as a practice/varmint gun. From my understanding it packs a considerably bigger punch that the 22lr. So, is it just the cost of ammo that holds people back or is there something else I'm missing? Just curious because I have a Marlin 883n 22WMR that...

    Re: .308 Rem. 700 SPS-V Range Report Just curious what you all have been paying for this platform? Has anyone shot the "Tactical ACC-SD" Model 700 SPS that Remington just released? I'm considering the tactical acc-sd model so I can add muzzle brake or suppressor to protect a bad shoulder...
