How many of you have had or wanted a Gorgeous Vintage Rifle

[Outlaw99]

Do your other still have the metal butt plates. Worthy to check out if they have that barrel harmonics adjustment screw. My two vintage Winchesters, a model 70 and model 54, both have them when using different bullets and loads it is the final fine tuning. Take note of where it is set if you remove the stock,,,and do remember, those Winchesters have a third screw holding the action in the stock.
Pay attention to tension in that screw too.

The other 3 all have the stock metal butt plates. The 300wm is the only one I own that came factory with a rubber recoil pad. It’s the westerner model. They are all bone stock users.

I couldn't care less about "vintage" rifles. The ones I kill with are my concern. Thanks. mtmuley

Thou shalt not use the name of the 700 in vain...it is known.

I had something go wrong reloading, once just once, It was with my 280 Remington model 700 mountain rifle. I had to beat the bolt open with a piece of wood. The primer turned into a plating on the bolt face. I was safe, the gun undamaged. The model 700 is maybe the strongest rifle action ever made

I'd like to just take a moment here to recognize that you prefer classic, vintage jeans.

So put that in your 700 & pull the (hopefully updated) trigger.

Funny story, I went to NWT abut 10 years ago on a sheep, moose and caribou hunt. Took my go to rifle, a Rem 700 BDL in 300 RUM. Have been using this same rifle for almost all my hunts sine i purchased it somewhere around 1999. After all the hunters get situated one of guides tells us to grab our rifles and few rounds and we will head to range to check zero. The guide looks to be about 18 yrs old. As we are walking down to the range the guide asks me what my rifle is. I tell him a Rem 700 in 300 RUM. He say "No, what is it made of?. I tell him that its walnut. He kind of shrugs his shoulders and says, "I think my dad has a gun made of that."

After I saw all the other hunters' rifles, I started to figure out why he was confused by a walnut stocked Rem 700 topped with a Leupold scope. All others were custom rifles with German glass. I was the only one that only needed 1 round to verify zero. But they were some awful nice rifles those folks had.

Still safehouse a slew of 700's, none in their birthday clothes. Leupold eyeballs all...capable platforms.

Had a wizard of a gunsmith touch my Remington triggers. Ain't skeered of them. Leave my jeans out of this. mtmuley
