i'm int eh market for a new hunting rifle. i've got about 300 to spend and would like a scope on it. i've been looking at the remington 710 synthetic with the 60° bolt action, a buddy has one and i like the feel of it. any opinions on this gun, or suggestions of another?

the availible calibers are 270 win, 7mm rem mag, 30.06 and 300 win mag. is there a difference in accuracy? suggestions on a good guage. i've only shot a 308 and a 30 30

That's not even close to the same thing.

Anyways I use a Remington model *. I can't rememeber the actual model number but it's a 243. Gets the job done.

Keep up the great work guys!

i's be afraid to have a gun in your house

tex · 08-16-2005, 09:29 PM

I can't even imagine a 7mm, a 9mm feels pretty weak to me, its like a fucking pop-gun (albiet dirt cheap...).
You can get chinese AKs around here for $300 if you look hard and long enough...just a thought

Axl_Rose · 08-16-2005, 09:42 PM

No one uses AK's for hunting rifles, unless it is for coyotes or something.

crowchaser · 08-16-2005, 09:47 PM

miller isnt looking for a big gun to scare people, he is looking for a new hunting rifle, deer hunting, and to you of those you who deside to ruin a thread, dont. over and out

Axl_Rose · 08-16-2005, 09:53 PM

Is this for deer...moose? what? I assume some type of big game. I don't know what they all have in Wisconson. I only hunt Pheasant and WhiteTail.

miller hunts deer

Axl_Rose · 08-16-2005, 09:58 PM

Ohh I see you have 300 to spend. I thought you have a 300. Like I said I have a 243 and works fine. So I would go with the 270. Anything bigger is overkill and wrecks more meat.

j0k3r · 08-16-2005, 10:59 PM

The 710 is a nice rifle, but I prefer Savage Arms. I used to hunt with a Savage 110, but I think they have been discontinued. It's probably the nicest bolt-action rifle I have ever fired. Here is the 111:

Hell, if you're going to go ghetto as CHE would say just buy an SKS. "Shooter grade" Yugoslavian SKS rifles can be had for 99 bucks, and they could easily take down a charging Scrubbin Bubbles.

er, yeah. hunting deer.

I like big guns, sorry. As soon as I get out of the fucking dorm i'm getting a AR-15...

Axl_Rose · 08-17-2005, 08:48 AM

An AR-15 is not a big gun at all sorry. .223 is not a big caliber. You won't be taking much out with that, unless it's small mammals or people.

I actually liked the AK suggestion. A pretty big caliber gun with lots of after market goodies and cheap ammo. What's not to love?

Tacdriver · 08-17-2005, 11:14 AM

Miller I suggest going with the .30 caliber for deer hunting. I would however refrain from the synthetic stock because the recoil from either the 30-06 or 300 WM will be uncontrollable with such a light stock. That's been my experience anyway. And for those of you that don't like guns, STFU and leave this thread alone. It's just common sense.

MSP · 08-17-2005, 12:15 PM

Don't they make a 308 caliber AR-15? It's more than Miller has to spend, but that would be fucking sweet. I bet there's a 30 cal version too, wouldn't surprise me.

its not a 7.62, but its not a small gun. Its no elephant gun, but its by no means a small caliber...
