Title: Remington 700 BDL
Post by: chep on February 27, 2007, 03:39:14 PM: I ordered one of these puppies in .30-06 on Saturday. It should be here by next monday. I really can't wait.

It turns out that I didn't care for the detachable magazine since the capacity is 4 already. I don't really mind that at all. For me - iron sights coming stock on a rifle is a must. I'll be looking to get a scope for it next but I am not in a hurry for that. If you have any suggestions please fire away.

Used VX-ll's run around $200.00, with new VX-l's just over $200.00. The WAC meeting in Puyallup at the end of March would be a good opportunity to look through a bunch of scopes. I'll buy the coffee.

Post by: chep on March 08, 2007, 11:40:42 PM: Yes there was a minor delay at the gun store. Maybe somebody is using my social somewhere or something.. :)

I don't have the mounting gear for the scope yet but I'd be happy to launch some lead down range with the iron sights the first chance I can get. I have not picked up any ammo or even a sling yet. Talk about cherry. I will need to make some minor adjustments\modifications to it before long.. :guns:

It's possible I could escape on Sunday but Saturday I have committments.

Post by: chep on April 01, 2007, 10:01:06 AM: Thanks. I saw that someone had an A-Bolt in the gallery. Now that looks like a beauty!

Yesterday I made it out to the range and it shot very well. Now let's see if I can hit something real with it this year. :guns: :rockin:
