KodiakEMT -- there's a Remmy 700C LH in .223, sitting all lonely on the rack at the local Gander here in La Crosse, WI. Mighty purdy rifle, if you want a light varminter. Been there for at least a year!! I keep thinking I'd just like to have the action, open the bolt face a little, and barrel it to 7.62x39, as toysoldier mentioned. A light synthetic stock, low-power scope, some handloads with good 150-grain bullets (use a .308" bore barrel, and the corresponding sizing ball in your sizing die). That setup would make a fabulous light deer rifle!
