Rem 700 Long Range

[Kirk930]

Looking for a Remington 700 Long Range in 300WM and not having much luck. None of the vendors on here seem to have stock, and no luck on the EE.

Some in 300RUM kicking around, but I don't think I want to go down that rabbit hole!

Any suggestions??

Get a Sendero in 300WM and upgrade the stock?

 

[Kirk930]

Not a bad idea, and would probably be a better shooter in the long run.

Trying to keep costs down though.....

Great rifle, a buddy of mine bought one in 30-06 and bone stock...no bedding or trigger job yet, and it shoots easily under 3/4 MOA and he has had a few groups in the 0.4MOA range. I hope you find one.

 

[Kirk930]

Good to hear! Got emails out to a few vendors. Hope one of them can track one down.

In all honesty, get a savage. All around better rifle. If your dead set on one, then Cabelas might have em still.

Picked one up from LeBaron. Pricing was great.

Looks to be a pretty nice rifle for the $$. I really like the look of it.

Needs a scope and then it's off to the range to see how it shoots.

 

[Crashman]

Excellent! Glad you found one, let us know how it shoots.

How're you liking the rifle? I'm in the market for one in 7 Rem Mag.

I would make sure inspect it thoroughly. The magnum 700s with the riveted extractors seem like a very weak design.

How're you liking the rifle?

Funny you should ask. I still haven't picked up a scope for it yet! Got distracted with scuba diving this summer.

I've replaced the trigger with a TriggerTech and added a rail, rings, bipod, and an oversized bolt knob.

Thinking about a muzzle brake as well. Might try the Spatha threadless.

I've been looking at scopes lately, so I hope to have it out to the range soon.

 

[Chargerguy]

Yeah, I put a trigger tech in my 700 SPS 7RM and love it!

Do you know of any dealers still carrying the 700 Long Range?

 

[Kirk930]

I bought mine at LeBaron. They had it in stock as well, so it was a quick delivery.

I saw one at Nechako Sports in Vanderhoof a few weeks ago.

 

[Chargerguy]

Finally! I found one today. $799 NIB. Looks great, feels great, now we'll see how it performs.

I have an M 700 Long Range chambered in 25/06. Nice rifle for the money. Go to the range and have fun, I think you'll like it.

Just picked a Rem 700 5R / 300 win mag at Wanstalls. Now off to the gunsmith to have the barrel threaded and Tactical knob installed...

Not likely!! The Savages generally shoot OK, but better all round???

I would make sure inspect it thoroughly. The magnum 700s with the riveted extractors seem like a very weak design.

Where this drivel comes from is beyond me. The Remington design is just fine.
