I use Varget and h335 with great results

The Barnetts I have handled at Cabellas shoot very well

Not to excuse Remingotn's actions... BUT in the simplest way of thinking a safety is merely a mechanical device and like all other mechanical devices, there is a distinct possibility of failure. There is no substitute for muzzle control.

From handling a pardner it seems very well built. The few shots that I have put through one cycled without any issues.

The 700 .308 I have has the new xmark trigger. Im looking to find the pamphlet on it if i still have it because id like to see if their wording on the safety.

It looks like a Clone of my TLR-2 For what its worth my TLR-2 is a fantastic piece of equipment

congrats on the new rifle! im sure it will be a shooter.

After watching the special a few things stick out in my mind. In some of these cases where individuals were hurt, the guns operator was not sure of what was beyond their target or backstop. The other factoid that seems to stand out was the issue of a possible recall. It was disclosed that there were 2 class action lawsuits that were calling for a mass recall of every 700 rifle. The cost of this recall was stated to be roughly 300 million dollars, more money than Remington is worth. A mass recall of all 5 million rifles would cause the company to no longer be solvent.

Welcome. You'll find the people on this board to be more than helpful.

I second the Blackhawk Serpa. The holster is very durable and the lock release reinforces the "keep your hand out of the trigger guard" ideal. If you are concerned about the level of retention you can move up to the Level 3.

The new guideline for CPR professional rescuer also mandates a minimum of 2 inches of compression

should be there around noon

Im planning a trip to shore shot Sunday 10/17. Feel free to say hi I'll be shooting a Px4, Cx4 and M&P.

I saw this on one of the fishing forums I frequent and thought id pass it along. CNBC will be airing a special report on Oct 20....... The Remington Model 700-series rifle —with more than five million sold—is one of the world’s most popular firearms. Famous for its accuracy, the rifle is now the target of a series of lawsuits alleging that it is unsafe and susceptible to firing without pulling the trigger. Remington insists its rifle is safe, trusted, and reliable, though a trail of death and serious injury dating back decades has prompted critics to ask whether this iconic American company has compromised safety in the name of profits, and gone too far in trying to protect its signature product. Senior Correspondent Scott Cohn’s report is the result of a 10-month CNBC investigation. Might be interesting to watch...

For what its worth I went through this dilemma the past few months. I wanted a rifle that would push a heavier bullet than are usually loaded into 62 gr. .223 rounds I load for my AR. Recently I have found that the time I have to go tot he range has almost always been days where the wind is rather gusty and unpredictable. I came to the conclusion that I wanted a bullet that would be pushed around less than the .223 so I moved up to the .308 win. After deciding caliber I had to decide between semi-auto or bolt. Since my ammo budget is limited and I have developed a taste for precision shooting I decided a bolt gun would be more appropriate because when shooting my Bushmaster AR I ten to get a little trigger happy. While that may be ok with .223, an AR in .308 would make my ammo costs go through the roof. I am proud to say that I am the owner of a new Remington 700 .308 with a 26 inch heavy varmint barrel and I could not be more pleased with my purchase.

What time were you thinking of going?

I was leaning towards dix too. I have a new rifle I'd like to put through its paces.

I have one hell of an itch to shoot tomorrow 9/24. Anyone looking to meet up?

I have been interested in this process myself

Im very interested in this. And its practically in my back yard!

Id be very interested in this

I have shot multiple glocks in this caliber and haven't had an issue.

Im interested. Does anyone else plan on attending?

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out if the rumor is true.

the wood on that really does look good
