New rifle
Picked up my new rifle and scope combo the other day only to take it to the Gunsmith and have a trigger adjustment and fillers put in where the sights went.It's a Remington 700 BDL in 30.06 w/ a Leupold VX-1. I can't wait to get it back and practice then eventually get my first deer! Anyone have any advice, experience or wisdom to pass on about a similar gun? Thanks in advance.

RE: New rifle
I bought my first 700 Rem. in about 1970? and to this day they all have given me excelent service....
Same with Leupold scopes.. I bought my first one in about 1973? and i've had nothing but good luck with those too...
As for the 30-06, it's probable the finest all around big game hunting cartridge ever invented, and if i was hunting deer with one, i'd use 165 grain bullets... They work very well in deer sized animials...
I could go the rest of my life with the same combo you bought and hunt anyplace in the U.S. feeling comfortable with my rifle..
I bet your going to love your new rifle!
