Alright gun guru's, I've found a really nice Remington model 700 in 7mm-08 that I plan to get right after Christmas. I've killed deer with a 700 before (borrowed for a hunt), and found no fault at all with it. Can anyone tell me why I would NOT want to get one? A buddy of mine tells me they are one of the best bolt guns made. What do you guys think?
Jesus... I hope you know Him personally like I do.

The Rem 700 action is a good one. That SPS stock isn't. I'd look at eventually changing it out, but it should be a good shooter in a good caliber.

Most of them will shoot better than average. I'm not a fan of anything The Freedom Group manufactures these days, though. You can buy a Vanguard/ Howa 1500 or a Savage for the same money or less and have better quality, in my opinion.

I would buy it with no worries. I don't like the stock on them, however, I don't like most factory stocks from any manufacturer. I bought my Dad a M700 30-06 a couple years ago and that joker will cloverleaf 165 grain Accubonds at 100 yards.

No downside to it if the price is good and you like it IMO.
7mm08 is a great caliber and my SPS's I have no complaints with after I throw a Timney in.

I have owned around 6 "new" Remington rifles over the last 2-3 years and mounted scoped/sighted in countless others. I am still waiting to find the junk that some folks say Remington is producing these days. I would buy it and not worry about it. The SPS stock isn't the greatest, but it's light and everyone I have owned/shot would shoot sub MOA groups even with the SPS stock.
I will say, the X mark pro trigger sucks though, as does the "blued" finish Remington put on everything, but as far as shooting, I doubt you notice any difference in a 700 or Mark V Weatherby. Either of them will out shoot most shooters.
