I take issue that the Rem. 721-2's or 700's are a good design for a hunting rifle at all!

I put the Sako A7 at the top of my list for the best out of the box hunting rifle under $1000.00 only because its a little lighter and possibly a little more accurate than the Remington 700, but I have to defend the 700 here. I don't think the 700 has been around for 40+ years because its an inferior design for hunting, in fact I would say that the 700 has probably killed more big game than any other hunting rifle out there. The 700 did not become the most popular hunting rifle in America because there's something wrong with it, I know I have killed more deer with mine than any other. Also if you can't unload your gun safely without the gun being on safe then your an idiot.....and probably shouldn't have a gun anyway.
