    Hey, SHE wanted to throw it in the dumpster!! I asked if I sold it on ebay, could I add the money to my rifle fund and she agreed. Not to mention, I bought her a new laptop about a year ago outta my own pocket.

    And behold, my new RIFLE!

    BWAHAHA, couldn't keep that in for long. No, not THAT rifle, but boy do I wish

    I'm getting a Remington 700 SS 5R Milspec in .308 Win. Originally, I was going to get a 700 SPS Varmint, then build it up as funds allowed but I was persuaded by a fellow ho to buy once cry once and get the 5R. I have done a lot of research on it since then and from all of the reviews, it seems to be a really good shooter. And because its a Rem 700, it allows for vast aftermarket upgrades!

    Nice rifle. I was looking to buy a rifle a while back. Ended up getting a howa in 30-06. Sold it....oh well. I wanted the r700 but found the howa dirt cheap.

    If I could do it over I'd get the r700 in .308.

    Really I'm waiting for the season to start so I can get optics, torch and stock on my rifle.

    One of my friends bought a Rem 770 in 30-06 as a "hunting" rifle. It came with a cheap scope that doesn't hold zero, the reticle is never clear, the scope rail is plastic so the rings won't clamp down (they're always loosening), the bolt is very hard to cycle (it gets stuck once every 3-4 cycles), the internal magazine doesn't feed. His reasoning for buying it was that it was "cheap". It's pretty bad.

    I knew I wanted to get a .308 and a Rem 700, just wasn't completely decided on the model. Now I know. One more pay cycle, then the wifes bonus that she's sharing a bit with me, and I'm ordering the rifle, scope rail, scope rings and depending on how much leftover, I'll either buy a new scope or swipe the SWFA SS 10x from my .22LR rifle. I'm definitely excited!
