My favorite "go to" gun is a 700 with 26" barrels, straight grip, and double triggers. Dating to the early 50's it weighs in at 6 lbs 1 oz and is a real delight to carry all day. Plain, yes, but I don't have to worry about every scratch or rain drop. It's a real workhorse that has never let me down.
