30.06, Rem 770

[Mike Moss]

sdkid,

I don't recommend the Remington rifles for hunting. Most of them that I am familar with do not have a correct safety in that it is neither three position nor does it lock the firing pin.

Some designs that do have superior three position safeties are the M70 Winchester and the Kimber of NY rifles.

The Remington also has a tiny cheap spring for an extractor, lacks control round feeding and its bolt handle is just brazed on and can break off.

Look at other rifles.
