I like the Browning A bolt. They have the best selection of calibers for lefties.

Mine's a Stainless stalker, too. Very nice gun. Wish they made one on short action for us lefties.

I know what the theory behind the boss is, but it looks like a big compensator to me. I can get 2-3 groups at 200 so I can't imagine having a boss would make THAT much difference.

Remington model 700....

i use a Winchester Model 70 in 300 win mag to deer hunt with and love it, but i wish it was in a 700...

dads got the all American deer rifle, Remington 700 in 30-06 Springfield...

"Thier just dogs, once you learn that you'll be better off. Everytime you turn em loose theres always that chance that you'll never seee them again, for one reason or another"

words from a wise man, my dad.

if you dont like the weather in Alabama, just wait a few minutes..

the 700 is one of the all time greats, that is for sure. Good luck getting a model 70 now. Ever since the USRA factory closed, They are hot hot hot. Not too long ago I sold a model 70 for $1000 where I probably couldn't have gotten $600 two years ago.

Until that cools down, stick with either the A bolt or the 700 for now. Unless you have a problem with saving money then get a Mauser or a Blaser.

umm i think dad bought this 70 for like $200, best friend though so we got it on a good deal. thing is, neither my dad or the guy he bought it from has ever shot it, aperently im the only one man enough to shoot the thing...

i have yet to find the "sweet spot" on mine i just set it on what the little book says to and leave it at that i my self dont need 1/4 groups to kill a deer [snuff can at 200 yards is plenty for me]

haha i tell the guys at the camp the boss was invented so that if u miss u can sneak up on the deer because its SO loud it will deafen the deer

If your talkin best all around (in all calibers), I would have to say a remington

custom... Rebuilt mausers are the only thing that gets used in my family anymore. I like rugers though, i cant stand seeing anything but USA, Belgium, or Germany on a gun i own .

I would have to say remington. I have a model 700 in a 243 cal. I also have a 742 woodsmaster in a 243. My dad gave it to me.

It has got to be the legendary model 70 pre-64 winchester. This was the riflemens rifle. Hell I thought winchester closed the doors in 1964 with the crap they put out after that date. As for the B.O.S.S which stands for ballistic optimizing shooting system it does and will work if you have the time to play with it. True there is a CR model and a reduced recoil model which is the ported one most people use. The CR one stands for conventional recoil. Now basically the principle is tune or dampen your barrel vibration to the correct node and now you have uniformity which is the key to accuracy. But you have to make sure your barrel is free floated at least 2 inches from the barrel junction to the muzzle.
Other notable mention 700 remingtion, Savage 110 series, Browning A-Bolt, Ruger M=77 Mark 2, and an oldie but goldy the legendary Muaser 1898 of course sporterized.

my all time favorite .22 is a browning semi automatic ... kicks the hulls out the bottom ... sweet shootin gun ...

anything remington is my choice. They are the oldest gun maker in America and it shows. Remington model 700 second to none.
