Remington 770 beater rifles

Strangely on this one the trigger is very good. No creep and breaks fairly light. Just guessing but between 3 and 4 lbs.
I was shooting off a bipod not holding the forearm. Eye relief was less than 2 inches. Touched my nose nearly every time.
It went in the trash quickly
Interesting as the 3 I shot had creepy, spongy triggers that were over 5lbs.
 
We need Walmart in Australia then.

Won’t happen it’s been over 30 years since a K-Mart has sold guns and ammo.

Back when I got my first job in a department store in the early 70s it was my job to clean all the rifles on Saturday morning as well as well hardware. If any one came in looking for a rifle or shot gun I had the great pleasure of assisting the customer. I was only a bit over 14 and a half and it was back when the shops shut at lunchtime Saturday and didn't reopen until Monday morning. It was also illegal to shoot on Sunday morning back then as it was supposed to be church time.
Oh how things have changed.

So , what year was that?
 
$54 for a brand new rifle??? The first thing I did was look to see how many years (or decades) ago this thread was originally posted! That's CRAZY! I would have been doing the same thing as @mdwest !!!

What a great way to kick off our 2025 hunting season in South Africa.

This beautiful Impala ram was taken at just over 300 yards, took a few steps and toppled over.

We are looking forward to the next week and a half of hunting with our first client of the year.

Do you have any more copies of African Dangerous Game Cartridges, Author: Pierre van der Walt ? I'm looking for one. Thanks for any information, John [redacted]
