Bolt action guns are awesome, and the Remington 700 is one of the best ones to start with. Not too expensive, lots of 'toys' for it, and it's a well built gun.

 

You're going to buy the rifle and not join for 2 years? LOL sounds like someone is playing Fantasy-Marine. You don't hear too many business majors going for this kind of field now-a-days, you do realise you're literally handing your entire life over to the government for~8 yearsright?

BTW Marines NEVER call a rifle a gun, didn't you see Full Metal Jacket?

 

well thats why its not a forsure that im going to join. i want the gun now because i love to shoot. and if i join the military then i might get gun i could be shooting with later on. haha fantasy marine...kind of, its fun to go out and shoot like that.

 

Jeff, what about automotive engineering (or something that will get you working on cars)? It seems a natural fit for you. I have a buddy that has a degree in mechanical engineering and worked for Goodyear test driving cars.

 

that would be cool, idk im young and still have some time to think

 

I'm going for mechanical engineering...ultimately I want to work on chassis design, but for right now I'm going to work for a company designing clutches and torque converters. Engineering is going to keep me close to cars...that's the goal anyways.

 

well ive owned quite a few rifles and so far my favorite buy has to be the 243 wssm... fun gun to shoot

 

where is a good place to get a remington 700?

 

Ive got a 243 and I love to shoot it, although if you want something with a little bit more range and accuracy get a 7mm mag, Ive shot one before and its and great gun to shoot, exceptionally accurate and packs a lot of punch.Big recoil though. Cyberlogic M16s, M4s and AR15s shoot 223 rounds not 5.56!!!

 

Go to a GI Joes if you have one around where u live, if they don't have it in stock in the store, they can special order any gun for you.
