[QUOTE="TX Shooter, post: 653531, member: 48365"] Captain thanks for your service and welcome to the hunting community. I am new to this forum but just wanted to add my thoughts. The Remington 700 is an excellent choice and 30.06 is a versatile cartridge with a large enough case capasity to push 220 grain bullets and I have cyote hunted with 100 grain bullets. I bought a 700 as my second rifle in the late 60s and made it shoot ½ MOA groups. I put a Redfield 3-9 scope on it, glass bedded the action and free floated the barrel. I polished the trigger with buffing compound to a mirror finish and it was smooth and crisp as a target trigger. Did it all myself to keep the expence down and had the satisfaction I did it myself. Good luck and don't forget the shooting sticks. [/QUOTE]
