Hello I'm new to this forum. I have been looking to buy a Remington 700 rifle. I have shot my brothers 700 police in 308 and I like it a lot. I'm having trouble deciding on 308 or 300 win mag. Any ideas would be very helpful. I also looked a remington sendaro. Anyone shooting one of those?

Just think.. If you go with .308/7.62x51 you can also shoot the same round through other platforms like an AR, M1A, etc... just my $.02

I started w a SPS in 308, The only thing I change was the stock and magazine feed bottom metal.

Re: remington 700 police
why sell the M1 Garand?
There is something I must remind myself most times that you should consider also. "You have a whole lifetime!" M1 Garand seems something pretty cool to hold on to..
I have a M1A Super Match I actually considered selling just to get a nice scope for my GAP rifle, but I thought... you know... It wasn't easy getting this rifle, and besides... I have a blast shooting it, lol!
I'm saving up my pennies for that glass...

Re: remington 700 police
Keep the Garand, they aren't making anymore. Unless that Garand is a real dog you'll regret it someday. Save up your pennies for a .308 boltgun. The .308 has cheaper and more readily available ammunition, less recoil, and longer barrel life.

Re: remington 700 police
+1 mustang, don't let that garand get away, you'll end up hating yourself. I love my .308 700p, good caliber for them, heavy enough to not have to worry about wind too much when learning fundamentals at short distances (100-200), manageable recoil and longer barrel life over Winmag. If you've never shot with glass I would recommend getting a lower-end quality scope that you can learn your preferences from. Millet, SWFA, and others make decent selections that will allow you to experience what you like in reticules, mil vs. moa, whether or not additional features are worth the money: zerostop, elevation per rotation, etc.

Re: remington 700 police
If you decide to sale that M1 Garand let me know. I would want to see some pics, and then might take it off your hands.

Re: remington 700 police
Buy whichever one you want first. If you are like me you will end up with both anyway.

Re: remington 700 police
I love everything .308! From barrel life to cost effective ammo the .308 wins in my opinion. I decided to put my 700P up for sale lastnite so I can start another project.
