I have a Remington 700 BDL .270 and I am going to be receiving a Mossberg ATR in .270 in trade for some other items I have for sale in the next few days. I know the Rem is a better gun, but not sure if it is worth keeping both, or if I should sell one or the other off.
Both would be used for hunting here in New Mexico. Nothing super long range, and I don't go punching paper very often. I think I shot 6 or 8 rounds through the 700 this last season. I know the Remington will last forever at that rate, I don't know how long the other will last.
I stress about screwing up the finish on the 700 every time I take it out of the case. I don't think I would care with the Mossberg.
So what do I do? Sell/trade the 700? Sell/trade the Mossberg? Keep both?
