Rem 700 mountain rifle in .243 ???

[Pete G]

I like the walnut/blued mountain rifles.
Have one in .270, but would be interested in a twin in .243.
So far, I am unable to see if these were ever produced in .243.
Anyone have one, or know if a .243 was ever produced in walnut/blued format?
Thanks,
Pete G

I have one in 6mm or 244 if you will. Not interested in sellign as it was my dads and my go to deer gun. Post a WTB in EE and I am sure you'll find one.

Lapasse Bill,

Is yours the walnut/blued detachable magazine model?

Pete
Mind is walnut/blued with a drop floor plate BDL model in .243 cal., my son has the same gun in .308 cal. The 308 shoots a little better groups than the 243 I use the 243 for coyotes and groundhogs but have also hunted deer with it.

I think a good gun smith could change A 700 BDL to a detachable if you would like to go that route.

Bill.
I think you are right about converting a BDL fixed flootplate to a DM.Seems that I saw a "kit" to do that somewhere.
Has anyone here had that done?
Anyone have an idea or experience with respect to cost,,,both for hardware and gunsmith services?

Yesi have had several done the only good replacement is hs presision the remington bm and non are not interchangable the action is not internably the same hs r expensive around 375 plus smithing but well worth it you could get a detace mag 243 in walnut that would be very close
