rifleman25 Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 It is a good deer round. It is a little big for my taste but it is used all across this land. Will it work on elk? You bet. It is probably the most common elk and der rifle in use today. I honestly dont think you can go wrong with it. Not to mention the Remington model 700 is a great rifle. Good luck and I hope it provides you with many years of reliable service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimT Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: rem. 700??? You have picked a very good combination. It will be a great gun for sure. I own a 700 ADL 30-06 and like it alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LETMGROW Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: rem. 700??? I have a Rem. 700 BDL 30-06 which has been customized into a carbine. I really like it. The fit and finish is great,shoots very well and handles well. I don't know why Remington doesn't mass produce this gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: rem. 700??? Own a remington model 700 adl in .270. Have killed a lot of deer with that rifle. Been very pleased with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QDMAworks4me Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: rem. 700??? I own a 700 but in the .243 caliber and I have killed a lot of deer with it and I have not had to track any. I am only using an 85 grain bullett also. I absolutly LOVE IT. I think you would have great success with that gun but I could not tell you what other animals you would be able to hunt with it.

camelNS Posted March 1, 2006 Report Share Posted March 1, 2006 Re: rem. 700??? I own a Rem. 700 30-06.Its my favorite gun and calibre.Best all around rifle in my opinion.Accurate as any rifle on the market,or better.If I were to be able to hunt elk I would take it no question about it.Its a great short range and long range shooter.I wouldn't hesitate to take a shot out to 350yards(my max range for feeling comfortable with).I have shot deer from 15 yards out to 320 yards.None went more than 50 yards.Lots of power for most any big game animal in North America.You got knock down power,short and long range and ACCURACY.What more could you ask for in a rifle??

mule659 Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 Re: rem. 700??? The Rem 700 is an outstanding rifle. I am planning on getting a new 700 CDL. The 30-06 is by far my favorite big game caliber. No other cartridge comes close for all around performance. With such a wide variety of loads to choose from and ammo availability no matter where you go what is not to like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Re: rem. 700??? I have a Remington 700 BDL but in a .300 Win Mag. I absolutely LOVE this gun, sweet shooting, very accurate and I have killed a few deer with it. I would highly recommend the 700! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest andymansavage Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Re: rem. 700??? I have the 30-06 adl. Works fine on deer and elk. 55 grainers will zip through a yote pretty good too. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born2Hunt Posted March 4, 2006 Report Share Posted March 4, 2006 Re: rem. 700??? I own a 700BDL SS DM in 270 and a 700BDL DM also in 270. I love these guns that is why I am trying to buy a 700BDL in you guessed it .270 from a friend just to add to my ever expanding gun collection.
