My 700 bdl Left hand in 22-250. Good choice! One followed me home in 1991 and it still entertains me. I miss my old LH 788 6mm though. Never should have let that one go.

Count me among the one's wishing for the 600/660's and the 788's.
I wouldn't mind seeing a come-back of the Classic series but instead of limiting them to just 700 actions, make a 'classic 788 in 243 or 308 or 6mm (hey, there's the first 3 years of new 'Classics'!)Then a 3 year series of 600/660's.
Put the 6.5 Rem Mag in something with a 24-26" barrel.

The thread on on the 700 CDL-SF in 300 Roy got me to thinking, what styles of discontinued Remington rifles do I miss.
700 LSS-MR
700 MR
700 Ti
700 VLSF, didn't love the stock, but stocks are easy to replace
Seven LS
To be fair, here are some Remington rifles that I don't miss.
673
710
What styles do you miss or don't miss?
300 and 7 SAUM ! the RUMs are a tad over, but a good basis for Nosler 28 30, 33 Not sure about this N26, think it wouldv'e been mo betta on the shortened & neck lengthened 375 Ruger case ala the 33/RUM Nostalgia : Briefly had a 725 in .280 that I shouldn't have let go. Sellers remorse kind of like the Classic or early BDL w/o the whiteline spacers as I recollect. Had a 700 Mtn in .280 that was dreadfully inaccurate by comparison, yet I fiddled with everything in a mistaken attempt to get similar accuracy out of it.  Loved the style, just didn't miss the 2.5" groups Model 7 Custom shop guns, don't know why, just like them.

1.) Wood stocked mountain rifle
2.) LSS Model 7
3.)Older Sendero with HS stock, not the SF11
I won't drink the swirled Kool-Aid
.....well, maybe, if it looks like wood

I miss Remington quality.
A new 700 BDL came with a loose front sight. An attempt to snug it down met with a snapped off screw stuck in the barrel. Disappointing....

I miss all the 6mm Remingtons, the few 257 Roberts, and a scarce 6.5x55
The dopes running Remington are not gun people, and know little of Marketing...all accountants. Their business plan is really horible to say the least. Remington could have captured all market share and kept it, but they have no insight as to their customer needs and wants. Absolutely none of the new companies could have got the market share they have without the complacency of Remington.

I will get off my soapbox now.

I would buy a couple more 700 Ti's if they were still made, the champ of light rifles.
And I would quickly grab a Mod. 30 or two if they were still made.
My Mod. 30 bought by Dad in the 1960s was built as a 35 Whelen back then by John Buhmiller and still used by us.
That is a long time for a dependable rifle.... I think.

Shouldn't this thread go in the Remington Collectors Forum here on the fire?
Oh wait....

The marketing prowess is obvious. Cut the Marlin x7, make 783's
Cut the handi rifles, etc.
