remington 700

I was just curious on everyones thoughts about this rifle... I just sent a "I'm going to buy it" email to the guy.... Does this sound like a pretty good deal? Does anyone have one? Thanks

The rifle is like any other 700. The real question here is, does the stock fit YOU THE SHOOTER? I have one thumbhole stock and it is much better from a bench than shooting off hand. Give great consideration to your hunting style and methods.

I have never shot from a thumbhole stock... What is it just awkward in other then BR positions? Most of my shooting is BR but I would like to use it for bear next year. Thanks for the info...

You may really like the thumbhole design. They aren't my cup of tea for hunting, but I'll be the first to admit I feel they are the absolute best for offhand shooting. For some reason I can get a much steadier hold when offhand shooting while using the thumbhole design. The only reason I don't like them for hunting is they are bulky feeling and awkard when carrying with a sling IMO. You may really like the design.

Good Luck

I won't be getting the 30 06. I ended up emailing the guy back to letting him know i would prefer the 300 win mag he has.. He is out of stock as of now.. will let you know what happens..

I have found the thumbhole stock to be very handy shooting from the bench but very ackward in hunting situations: pantamime taking your thumb out of the thumbhole and releasing the safety and then putting your thumb back in the hole before getting off a shot.
