[QUOTE="SJB, post: 1362914, member: 23940"] Remington 700 is pretty much the default deer rifle. Not saying it's better than others, but just the sheer number of after market parts available make that so. Every gun retailer in America has shelves full of aftermarket stocks and triggers for Remington 700's. New Remington 700's, like most everything else, are not always that great. The quality has been driven down with the price. You have to get a top of the line model new one to be what most people associate with a Remington 700 from days gone by. That being said, if you are just wanting a $400 deer rifle, you really can't go wrong with any of the ones mentioned. If you want something nicer, look for a 30 year old Remington 700 or Winchester model 70. Same rifle, different fit and finish, unless you want to spend $1000 on a new one. Personally, I'd look at gun shows or ask around and find a 30 year old rem 700, Winchester mod 70, or ruger 77. [/QUOTE]
