Remington 770 .300 Win Mag

[MarkM]

They have one with a scope attached on Cheaper than Dirt for 300. Is it worth buying from there or will I be disappointed? Give me some input.

I've always heard to steer clear of them no matter the caliber.

Couldn't agree any more.. The 770 will put the bullet where you want it, but the bolt is ROUGH, the best thing you could use the scope for is a .22 plinker, and all around, it fees extremely cheap (hence the price). IMO i would stay clear.

Ill look around more. I've never had a bolt action and am looking for one on a budget. Any other suggestions?

i just went through a LONG process of picking out my very first bolt action and i ended up going with the remington 700 cdl in 7mm rem mag. The bolt actions that i had narrowed down in my search was the model 700 cdl, Savage 114, & Browning x bolt. If you're looking for a lower budget i would suggest looking at the Model 700 ADL ( about $450) and while i don't have any experience with it, i've heard a lot of great reviews on the Savage Axis.

Look around and try to find a Stevens 200. or maybe even the savage axis would be better for you.

I've yet to hear anyone say anything good about the 770 platform. Everyone is saying spend the extra money and get a 700.

right now you can go to dicks sporting goods and get a 700 varmint adl with a heavy barrel and a cheap scope for $450. Just picked one up on friday. Scope sucks, but definitely a good way to get into a 700 without breaking the bank, and Its a decent platform to build off of with the heavy barrel.

this, a 450 dollar 700 will not drop much in value because the action alone sells for 400.

i dont know what a 770 action sells for, but it cant be much

had a 710 and 770 action is terrible,as is the trigger but they are accurate.i wouldnt get another.the savage is the way to go.

You will have to put alot of money into a Remington just to make it come close to a factory Savage.

Bradis did have the Savage Axis new for around $349.00, not sure if they have gone up since I was looking for one about 6 months ago. I have seen these in 22/250, .223, .243, and .308 and with or without a scope. They were $389.00 I think with the scope.
