It's a Remington 700 SPS
I think this is one of the best bang for the buck rifles out there. We paid like $550 at Cabela's a couple years ago. 3 of us bought them. I drag this thing around on the Mule or in my Truck and abuse it. It's covered in red dirt right now. The short size makes it really easy to maneuver in tight spots and it has little to no recoil with the heavy barrel.
Why a heavy barrel? There's a bunch of folks building rifle with thin tubes that shoot lights out.J&D Cattle":10c8j5rl said:Brute 23":10c8j5rl said:J&D Cattle":10c8j5rl said:What is the make and model of the gun Brute?

I used to really like Remington's but have gotten to buying Ruger and Savage's as of late. Buddy and I are looking at factory heavy barrel 308's right now and the Remington is definitely at or near the top of the list. The price is great!

My limited reading lead me to looking at heavy barrels. I can certainly be convinced otherwise. Looking for out of the box accuracy in a 308 without busting the wallet.

You can look these up and see the out of the box performance.
I would much rather spend $500-600 on a gun and $1000 on the scope... like I did with this one... than $1000 on the gun with a $500 scope.
Me personally, I like the weight of the heavy barrel plus I want a little meat on it so I can get it threaded for a suppressor.

Been looking at the Ruger American Ranch just for that reason it comes threaded.
While 223 is definitely not my favorite round for deer at these short 100 yard or less shots it works on hogs and deer well.
If I were shooting over 125 yards I would want a little more meat.
