I have one in 300 win mag. Bought it before I knew a lot about hunting rifles and was drawn by a since of nostalgia for a 300 remmy my dad had and sold years ago.
Mine is a pretty good shooter. Can’t say have used it much. I primarily bow hunt and I don’t need that much gun for the white tails I tend to hunt. Done 5-6 range sessions and a few walks in the woods. I bought it a couple of years back when I was starting to rifle hunt. It was actually one of 3 700s I bought within 3-4 years. The 300 is a good shooter. A cheap sps in 223 shoots like a friggin laser and a 308 xcr that is my problem child. Based on my experience and some observations of others I just don’t think Remingtons QC is consistently reliable. I probably wouldn’t buy it again but it isn’t a bad gun. As mentioned above, I swapped the trigger in mine to a fairly light timmeny. Only issue I really see with it is it is pushing 10 pounds with a base, scope and sling
Don’t get me wrong, it is a nice gun but after shooting it and my other remmys and then getting some exposure to kimber and browning and tikka since buying it, I just think I would put the $1300 I have in the awr into a different platform if I were buying today. My go to rifle right now is a tikka t3x in 6.5. A t3x in 300 would weigh 2# less and $300-400 cheaper with a detachable mag vs the Remington.
I would not say that you shouldn’t buy it, especially if you can get a good price. I just think there are options in that price range that are as good if not better and lighter.
