Anyone have one of these? I am looking for a deer rifle, and this one was offered to me in 30-06. Its the quick barrel change model. He wants 600.00 for it..
Good deal or not? |
| I bought one about ten years ago, when Sigarms was importing them. Mine was a synthetic 7mm Rem Magnum. It shot lights out, and was tremendously undervauled when I bought it. Sigarms never came through with the support for the extra barrels and bolts, so that part was a wash. Mine was far more accurate than any production rifles available at the time. I ended up trading it straight across for a Remington Custom Shop 700 AWR in 300 Win Mag at a local gunshop. That turned out to be a horrible decision. The SHR970 was ten times the quality of anything Remington ever put out, since their inception. I killed an Auodad ram at a lasered 423 yards with it. Great rifle, poor owner decision. |
| I've got one in .270, shoots lights out. I think I paid $400 for it and would sell it for 3 times that. Smooth, solid feel, good trigger, users friendly safety. Only issue is that they don't make them anymore so parts are scarce. I bought several spare mags a while back to make sure I had spares. Wish I had bought another barrel and/or bolt when they were available (or another whole gun). As long as it is in good shape you won't find a better gun for that price. |
