This could be some distributor special but no Remington collector would ever recognize it as a Classic. None were stainless ever.

Sounds like a nice rifle and no doubt is a better rifle than the 82' 257 Bob Classic.
Hard to find anything like this for a tad more than a grand today.

Suggest you check with Roy Marcott to see if Remington ever built any short action cartridge on a long action.


WRONG! and WRONG!

How many 1982 Classic Rbts have you had?? Long action, gloss blue, 24" barrel. OP has a different animal that I'd love to have. Especially with a long action and a 22" barrel in stainless. That's about the best you can do with a Rem 700.

Why would you doubt him? This is a fantastic rifle in a more fantastic cartridge. Somebody needs to snatch it up.

I believe the label also says it has 5R rifling? Another bonus if that's what it says.
