remington 770

[studor]

When they first came out I one of my neighbours bought one -- it's not your fathers Remington
Very little about it impressed me other than the price.It even felt clunky. I think I would look for an older gun and pay a bit more than buy a 770. If you want a plain jane Remington that shoots, look for a 788 in .308 -- JMHO

I would steer clear of the 770 if it were me. You'd be better off with a marlin xl or savage edge/axis or something along those lines.

i have plenty of nice rems in my gun cabinet. just wanted soemthing cheap, yet safe and moderately accurate, and something that i won't cry about leaving to get beat in my truck... 308's nice.. I have a woodsman in it.. i tend to like 30-06 better..

You used to e able to get the marlin or savage I mentioned for $299 before last deer season around here. They were selling like crazy! The problem with the 770 is if you're into trading/selling guns much you'll have a tougher time unloading it from your collection. For only $70 you should be able to step into a Remington 700 adl....it's plastic but you get that world famous action and it's just an overall better gun in my opinion, yet it's not fancy dancy.

I forgot about the marlins. I have 2 boys close to same age so I needed 2 rifles a couple of yrs ago. The marlins were cheap and I needed cheap since I was buying 2. I got em 243's. Those are fine little guns. They routinely shoot under an inch @ 100yds. They have good triggers also. When the boys get older I will look seriously @ another marlin in a long action caliber. Oh btw, they were 300 bucks apiece.

Haha well I just meant if you bought it and said the heck with this gun, it's not for me! If you really like it though I would go ahead with it, it's not the worst gun ever made but other manufacturers have out out better cost cutter rifles for the same/cheaper price. We just want to spend your money wisely

For the money get something else. It is not made to last. Wearherby vanguard, marlin, or savage is twice the rifle.

Might wanna check out a Stevens rifle also, made by Savage. Forgot about them. Lots of gun makers are coming out with these low priced rifles because they sell, and sell fast.
