Cleaned up grandfather's gun...

Have a Nilgai hunt opening rifle weekend. Can also shoot unlimited does and cull bucks and obviously hogs.

Was concerned my .308 was a little light, though I'm sure some of you snipers could kill a Nilgai bull with it. I inherited a 700 built in the 60s from my grandfather, but it was horribly gummed up. Trigger engaged when you took safety off because it stayed permanently depressed. Guy at the gun shop said it was a really well built gun from when Remington used to be one of the very best guns on the planet and it should perform flawlessly with a little work.

Spent some money on a good, thorough cleaning, put a new scope on, and this little bird is ready to sing...

7mm mag - just gotta sight it in.

Looks great. My first rifle in 30.06. I need to get it out and shoot it.

Fine piece of iron you got there.

that will get the job done

Back when they where really made well, nice looking rifle.

Yes that ought to do the job!

the best !!

A real treasure.

A wooden stock can't be beat!

Good looking rifle, Grandpa will be proud

Good looking rifle, lots of history in it.

Hope you have a good hunt. Premium bullets are the key. I took a Nilgai about 12 yrs. ago. I used a 338-06 AI and 225gr. interlocks. The bullet didn't penetrate all the way through on a chest cavity shot.

Those older 700 rifles are great Have a 243 and 30-06.

Enjoy the hunt with a classic rifle!

Thanks, all. Looking forward to putting it back in action.

Nice looking rifle. The guns with family history are always my favorites.

If you do your part right no doubt the rifle, bullet will as well.

nice!

Fine heirloom rifle right there!

Good Looking Weapon

That, sir, is a good looking rifle. Congrats on calling her number and getting her back in the game. Best of luck on the hunt, too!

Congrats.

Nice gun!

Nice tribute to your grandfather, Cameron. I hope it comes full circle with a nice trophy.

Love it. Your Grandpa would be proud.
