I hate to do this, but with a kid in college, I need to free up some $ for the big game applications. I'd rather hunt than fondle this rifle.
$800 shipped for rifle and bases/rings to lower 48. No questions asked 3 day return policy. Scope not included.
It's a hard to find factory 700 BDL 350 Rem Mag that has had considerable action and barrel work as detailed below.
Action and Barrel
- Sako extractor installed.
- Remington Short Action 700. Serial number is A prefix.
- Factory barrel was removed, action trued and barrel indexed with original Remington barrel stamping face down.
- Sights removed, holes plugged (plugs are face down in stock, see line above).
- Barrel cut and target crowned at 20"
- Nicely jeweled bolt (factory).
- Action is smoooooth.
- Bolt face shows the rifle has been shot, but not much.
- Feeds and cycles flawlessly.
- Both lugs show even contact with action.
- There are small scratches and a couple larger scratches in the bluing.
- Bottom metal is in extremely good condition. It is scratched around the trigger guard bolts.
- I do not know who did the gunsmithing. It was done very nicely.
Trigger/Safety
- Action has to be safety off to lift bolt, just like God intended it.
- Trigger has been adjusted. It's not superb, but not bad. (maybe 4.5 pounds)
- Since the trigger safety has not been in for Remington's recall, use at your own risk. I've cycled it a few dozen times. Slammed the bolt home hard. Smacked the butt on the floor. It's safe.
Stock
- 13.5" LOP very nicely finished with a Pachmayer pad.
- Full length bedded. Rear tang is not bedded.
- Stock looks to have been sanded and refinished with an oil finish. Checkering has been re-cut. It could use a few more coats of finish, IMO.
- There are many small scratches and a few deep large scratches in the stock.
- Factory Sling studs are there.
Bases and rings are included. I believe they are Millet brand.
Overall this is an awesome handling rifle. Balance is perfect. A 200 grain X bullet will deflate anything on the continent.....
Again, I don't know who did the gunsmithing. I don't know for a fact that that the action was trued and accurized. The guy I bought it from did not have the paperwork anymore. The barrel was obviously removed. The wear on the lugs supports the accurization claim.
$800 shipped to lower 48 for rifle, bases and rings. Scope is not included.
Buyer will have the option to buy 2 new boxes of Remington 200 grain factory loads....which is crazy hard to find!
I have not fired the rifle. I bought the rifle a while ago, and have been looking for ammo to buy, which I have now located. If there is no interest in the rifle, I am going to go shoot it on Monday. I'll post results!
No trades. I need the $ to pull some good tags in CO and Idaho!
