America's Deer Rifle

My Remington Model 700 BDL 30.06 is part of my birthright, handed down to me from my Father. Twenty-One years later it is still by my side. Sunrise to sunset, as I cut downwind through draws or stalk through a swamp, it is ready to perform. I know that the sub-inch groups on the rifle range are carried with me to the deer stand. It is my reliable hunting companion season after season. It allows me to never second guess hunting in rain, sleet, snow, or sub-zero temperatures; it always delivers.

No matter if it is long range, close quarter, instinctive or a focused shot, my finger marries the trigger and with a squeeze my shot is always true. With a report that is music to my ears, it makes my decisions a reality and treasured memory.

Wiping it down after a day at the range or after a hunt, I notice the few scratches, nicks, and dings it has collected over the years. I can look at them and smile, because I remember where they came from and that they are not scars from neglect or abuse. They are badges of honor it carries with it that were earned in the field from being used and depended upon.

That is why the Remington Model 700 is America’s Deer Rifle, and why I hunt with it.
