kpcustoms Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Ok so I have a Remington 870 and I love it. I Also have a Marlin 17 HMR and is responsible for many dead rodents. Now my next gun will either be some kind of 1911 .45 ACP or a Remington 700 .308. Just wondering about thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thickcajun Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 That 870 will last 4-ever... it's remington tried and true. I picked up the 887 nitro mag from academy last week for 337.00, couldn't pass it up. My next shotgun will most likely be a remington 1100.

2003_SuperSport Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Two different weapons for two different applications... The 1911 is a fun gun to shoot, reliable, and a great in house self defense gun but a little too heavy for a daily carry and being that it carries 7 rounds in the magazine it is legal in california... The Remington 700 is a great hunting rifle and very reliable being a bolt action, there's a reason our military uses it for one of their primary sniper weapons as it is very reliable and can reach out and touch something at 1000yds in the .308 cal /7.62 Nato... I personally have both and love both of them... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kpcustoms Posted November 26, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 haha I will eventually get both but no money for both right now only one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thickcajun Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I have a remington 308 lever action that was give to me by my father back in early 80's and love it you can't go wrong with either choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texaSS364 Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 Actually ok Remington 700 in 308 or Remington 770 in 30-06? I got a 770 because of the price but it is no comparison to a 700 in quality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC03SS Posted November 26, 2014 Report Share Posted November 26, 2014 I say 700 in 270 FTW. I know it's not an option but great caliber Very close to the 06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1981evildisco Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 Colt 1911, original and the best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sprayed99 Posted December 22, 2015 Report Share Posted December 22, 2015 (edited) Why a 308? 6.5 Creedmore and 260 Remington are far better calibers if you plan on ever stretching its legs. I personally shoot 260 and have just recently gotten into large frame gas guns. I'm having a barrel spun up in 260 Rem as well. If you want a factory 308 that will more than likely out shoot you look at the following. Remington 700 AAC-SD (But replace the god awful stock they come with) Remington 700 5R Milspec Remington 700 Tactical Target Remington 700 SPS Tactical (Again replace the rubber crap stock) All 4 are great sticks and you can build whatever you want off of a 700 actions. Below are 2 of mine. The 300WM is a 5R Milspec with a bunch of changes and the 260 is a Crescent Custom built 260Rem on a 700 action 260 Rem 150yd target (by called I mean I said F&*K! lol) 300Wm Get into shooting some distances... You will fall in love! Edited December 22, 2015 by Retired99 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
