Nah
Nah, nothing wrong with calibre, but the rifle make and model is low end of scale.
What's your budget?
+2 Nah
Nasty and cheap Remmy, but the owner is doing a good job of trying to sell one of the worst rifles Remington have produced.
Stay away from the remington 710 (the one listed on trademe) and the 770 as others have said they are crap for a few dollars more you can get a marlin X7 or howa 1500 failing that look for a good secondhand remington 700, ruger m77, marlin or howa. There is nothing wrong with owning a 270 if that is the caliber you want to go with.
What if he buys a .223? Would that be enough to knock over a deer?
I reckon you're better to look at a .308 or similar, if you were from Auckland you'd probably invest in a 7mm08. But fully realise it won't be your last whatever you tell the wife, girlfriend etc.
Think hard about what you want to target, what you want to spend and where'd you'd be going. I love glassing and tops stuff so bought a 7mm rem mag for the flatter longer distance characteristics with a supressor as my first, but have bought others since then all for different jobs.
Older ain't necessarily bad, and if you can try to get a test fire to understand what else you need doing to it e.g bedding, trigger, supressor etc.
Once you know what you like watch this site like a hawk as I'm amazed the rifles that have come up on here in the last 6 months.
although this is possibly worth a look before it closes in the next 30 mins for $600 odd

Ba ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha................................................ ........ahhhhh......ahhhhh...... Ba ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Oh my god did anyone read any of that crap at the bottom of the auction:D:D:D:D:D
I haven't laughed so hard in ages.
270 is fine,it will kill stuff dead if you do your part, it wont do half or any of what that seller says tho!
Much better rifles out there at better prices(especially on here;) )
Keep an eye out for a decent model in any factory calibre based on the 30-06 or 308 case.
Cam that was funny. The 'mussel velocity'... What's that? The guy obviously knows his firearms facts, I bet he learnt everything he knows on this forum!!!
If thats a 770 stay well clear, they in my opinion should never of been made.
ok thanks guys.
i have been told to keep away from Remington, stoeger, Brno, mossberg riffles. not sure why but apparently would be buying myself a problem. not really sure what calliber i want but will mainly be hunting goats and deer in the kaimais as i cant really travel too far at the moment.
I asked a question that isn't a question,hope he replies.
Surely the mussels would disintegrate if they reached the "mussel velocity"
While not my cup of tea Remington do fine rifles just not that one,BRNO also are good tho most are getting long in the tooth now.
Its not a remington thing its a770 thing, Model 700 is fine in remmys but i cant speak on other brands.
They are cheap for a reason and having owned a 770 for a few months, dont go there.
Second hand Tikkas remington 700s model 7s are all good just dont go for the budget model cos you will be gutted at the end result.
Have a look on trademe at some of the 6.5x55 Mausers going cheap, they are awesome. awesome with an A not an O.
or maybe something like this could be the go, assuming its in good nick its in your price range
Winchester Westerner 30-06
Regret selling mine. Bloody accurate and cheap to run. No recoil either.
Cheers mikee
Dont know much about 30-06 but looks like a nice gun at a nice price. What sort of accurate shooting range would you have with it and would i be able to put any type of scope and rings on it or do they need to be the right ones . Thanks
7.62x39 is a good choice of calibre also, with cheap ammo. I've got a Norinco and it's dropped everything I've hit with it. They're a cheap rifle, and need a little work to get the accuracy as the factory action fitting to the stock is poor (being nice describing that). Since you're in Morrinsvill, that's not so far from where I am, so we could meet up for a couple of walks
Tell us what your absolute, stretched out, won't end in divorcee, [well possibly but take the plunge anyway and grovel later],dollar limit is, and where you see your self shooting mostly and at what.
there will be enough good advice given on this forum to leave you choices.
Isn't their a 6.5 tikka about for $780 or such with rings, he may sell cheaper.
load a nosler 120gr bt and your ready for most stuff.
Stick with the 270, load it with a 110 ballistic tip, and watch those long range goats fall like morning rain, but avoid the light weight remmington , don,t fall for the sales talk of the Tikka Sako followers of fashion shooters, get your self a finnbear or cf2, both will kill more than you will see, and save yourself a fortune:thumbsup:
@possumatti
Reloaders are doing a Howa Ranchland blued rifle package that is threaded for $699 in 7-08. Comes already threaded with Nikko gameking 3-9x40 scope, bases and ring mounts.
For your $700, this is probably the best you are going to do buying new.
For $895 you could have the stainless version of the same rifle or their 6.5x55 stainless Hougue stocked package.
Any of these will give you a good start and are a much better option than the 710 you originally looked at.
If you can stretch the budget then you will obviously open up more and better quality options but the ones I've mentioned should start you on the right track.
LoL "Mussel velocity".

I own two Model700 and would never that model. However, it will still make deer dead!
Na go for Remington 700, that model is shit heap. Stock flex etc causing inaccuracy.
