I thought you were going to a drive in movie with a back seat full of Model 70s :D :redface:

they would be 700's in that case:D ;) :) ...I keep my Ruger M77 and the Model 70 in a locker of thier own...separate from the 700's and Sevens...:p

here's another qustion:

I just picked up an '83 vintage (first year) Rem Model Seven with the steel floorplate and trigger-guard assembly. Read about them but it's the first one I've seen. How common are they?..and how many years was the Model Seven built with this setup?

I was just going by what it said in the book Rick:) . Maybe you're serial number in your original post needs an an extra digit? G28###XX instead of G28###X?:confused:
