Title: Remington Model 770
Post by: alanger on February 07, 2010, 02:41:49 PM: Anyone have experience with one of these??? :dunno:

saw one for a great deal just wondering Pro's or Con's about it.

BTW its a 7mm rem mag if that makes a difference.

thanks.

He has taken a deer with it so like the1rod said it will get the job done.

k maybe i ought to think twice. sounded like a great investment cause the price tag but i think i need to look deeper into it.

DOesnt sound like many people have anything good or positive to say about it
