About two years later I was finished with it and Remington just wishes all their 700's were as accurate. It has a new lease on life, many enjoyable hours at the range as well as in the woods and a nice eight point taken at about 25 yards.

I just love the old ones, especially if the condition is bad enough so that you don't feel guilty cleaning it up and putting it to good use. Doesn't hurt if it's cheap too.

Thanks ... I'd been looking for one of these for a while but wanted one without any extra holes on the wood (swivels) and receiver. Took a couple years, but this finally showed up at a local gunshop. Big bonus with the Lyman sight.
