Opinions please

I am interested in this rifle, but my concern is the price. While I like a good deal, I also believe that you get what you pay for.

Remington 770 SPT BOLT 308 W/SCOPE for Sale at Buds Gun Shop $301.00

Thanks,

A valid question, seems to be a very good deal.
Where is the seller located ?

Depends on what you want to use it for. You have to remember the FFL fees so plus 15 to 30 bucks for the transfer. There are a bunch of reviews of the Remington 770. Here is just one. I have been considering a 308 bolt as well. So I have looked at these as well as others.

the Model 770 is the
quickest route to legendary status, and a full freezer.

i smell a red flag.

I personally would not buy a 770. Here's some other good, inexpensive choices:

Marlin 4 + 1 308 Win./22" Blue Barrel/Black Synthetic Stock for Sale at Buds Gun Shop $314.00

Weatherby Vanguard .308 Winchester for Sale at Buds Gun Shop $395.00

Stevens 4 + 1 308 Win. w/Scope/Gray Synthetic Stock for Sale at Buds Gun Shop $356.00

Savage 11FXP3 308 NO ACU W/SCP for Sale at Buds Gun Shop $364.00

I fully agree with Sig on this one. Just my opinion, i've never been fond of the 770's or 710's, granted they do fit a niche, to me they just don't feel like they live up to the Remington name. I would lean more towards the Marlin that Sig posted, i've handled and shot a few of the marlin XL7's and XS7's and was very pleased with them. They combine a lot of really good key features from several other name brand bolt rifle manufacturers.

Look into Tika's as well they can be had fairly reasonably.

Go down to Academy and check out the 770 in .270 and let us know what you think.

my .02 the action is clunky for lack of a better word, the trigger is no where near what I would expect from a Remington, and the over all feel is very cheap.

i have the 770 in 308 and i think it is great for the money. i replaced the factory scope and put a better scope on it.

I had one of those rifles with the plastic OD green stock. The stock is light causing more recoil than usual. The gun just feels cheap. The one I got had a cheap chinese made scope on it. I had it in .270 and didn't like it. I guess it's ok for the price but I'd just spend the money on a better made rifle.
