First response from RCS:

"OK. Gears were turning. Had to go back but I believe what he has is a Bill Hicks Co. limited run. Some searching says 2002ish. But it was as you describe; a SS Classic in 257. Can't find anything on the action length or numbers."

So IMHO all that is happening is confusion over what is a Classic.

All my books and catalog collection states that Remington Classics were the one cartridge per year rifles.

If Remington chose to produce other limited run uncataloged rifles and call them Classics,
"Classic Limited" to be precise for selected vendors, then so be it.

As I said way back before the flaming began, it sound like a very nice rifle but it does not conform to what Remington collectors would label a Classic.
They were cataloged blue and Walnut rifles made from 1981-2005.
