[QUOTE="Playtimefun, post: 3038375, member: 103742"] For starters... I kind of have to agree with [USER=42157]@Reelamin[/USER]... the one I truly (actually) hate still has to be bought!!!! But... semi dislike but still like enough not to sell it... Heckler & Koch 770 in 308 which is a cartridge I've seen fail more often then succeed in the field by friends (still own 3). Has the factory scope mount but it's so high its tough to look through it and pull the trigger. The safety location and operation is impossible to do unless your sitting in a blind. I picked up an HK 940 off a gun site thinking it would have the same stock configuration as the 770 (or similar) and the fore end is like hold the fat end if a baseball bat. But... the scope mount at least fits the sight plane properly. I will add one category of rifles to see if people agree and I suspect it will be an age thing (maybe)???? Wood stocked guns over synthetic stocked guns over black rifle styled (adjustable butt stocks with aluminum hand guards that feel awful in the hand) stocks. Nice to shoot at range but just don't feel nice in the field. But don't get me wrong... as I get older I am carrying my synthetic stocked ultra lightweights vs my wood stocked guns... but wood always feels so much warmer and looks better. [/QUOTE]
