joeaveragehunter Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Anybody know anything about this gun. Gander mountain has a sale with a 770 synthetic (243) with a cheap 3x9 bushnell for $349. My girlfriends first hunting season and she is pumped but the smallest gun I got is an 30 06. Worth it or no?

Heavy Metal Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 what's wrong with the .30-06? Heck that's perfect.:gun1: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunterbobb Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 I used to say that Remington has never made a bad gun. Then a few years ago they made the 710, The 770 is an improved version of the 710. However it is still a piecs of crap and I would not take one if you gave it to me. I would spend a few Hundred more and get a Remington 700. If you are set on that price range Savage, Weatherby Vanguard or Marlin all make rifles in this price range. Stay as far away from that 770 as you can get. :gun2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prairiepredator Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 You can't go wrong with a Remington! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coles Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 you are right...cant go wrong with a remington 700 or any other model....but you can absolutely go wrong with the 770. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snapper Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Gotta agree with some of the others...Rem. md. 700 are good shooters....the model 710 and 770...well...there is a reason why the prices are cheaper. If your looking to buy a different cal./gun for her in that price range...I'd look a Weatherby Vanguard. But the .30-06 is a great round...let her shoot that!

doubleA Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I know this is the age of producing cheap economical guns brought to us by the likes of Wally World. How can Marlin, Savage, Weatherby and others make decent economy guns and Remington can not. I cant figure this out, their 710,715 and 770 bolt guns are made cheaply ala the pressed in barrels, plasctic bolt sleves as well as very cheap stocks. Why can the others make a conventional bolt gun cheaply but yet not "throw away" type rifles? I dont think there us any question these will shoot minute of deer and last a a fellow that runs a box of ammo through it every 3 years a lifetime. If that's what you want go for it but there are better rifles to be had in the same price range. For about $280 a Marlin XL or XS 7 can be had and it's twice the rifle a 710,715 or770 is. I purchased one last year just to ring out and it's a solid gun and a great value. I recently shot some Krylon on the stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colorado bob Posted October 23, 2009 Report Share Posted October 23, 2009 The 14 year old boy I took out hunting this year used one. It was in 30/06. We shot quite a bit thru out the summer-----it's pretty accurate. He used it on a deer & elk hunt. Killed a doe & a cow------both 1 shot kills. The gun is OK in my book. Felt good when I shouldered it. Trigger was OK for a hunting rifle. CB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HUNTINGMAN Posted October 24, 2009 Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 Been thinking about buying a rifle for my wife also,think I will go next week and pic up a marlin bolt action with camo stock chambered in 270 or 30-06. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
