Re: Remington 770 30-06
I handled one a bit ago as I was looking for a bolt gun. I couldn't bring myself to get this (granted it was chambered in .308) due to the feel of the bolt. When you worked it, it had so much play in it compared to the better brother the 700. You could also see the stock and how much they cut corners on it. Though, if it is only a hunting rifle, I don't see a problem at all with it. Though if you would take it to a gunsmith for any work, I don't think that you can really do much to them in terms of customization due to the model is not really gunsmith friendly unless you have the bankroll to pay for more than the gun is worth.
end of story for me: I ended up with a Rem 700P in .223 becuase my intent was bench shooting.

I have one in 7mm mag. No complaints. For more money, the 700 is smoother, but for the price it's a good rifle.
