Looking at buying one made in 1993 in 223. Looks to have the correct stock. The pad has limbsaver on it. Did Remington ship some with limbsaver pads? My later 308 one has Remington on the pad

It would be the first Remington I have ever seen that had a decent pad. Had to have my gunsmith put on a decent one on my BDL so I doubt it.

Not an expert but I don't think they came with Limbsavers, in my book that would be a plus to have a LS pad
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

My later 308 one has Remington on the pad not in 93, limbsaver went into bussiness in 91 but i doubt Remington would have used them , this was a add on

I have a 700 VS in .308 that I bought new thirty years ago. I don't know what a Limbsaver looks like, but the VS came with a thin rubber buttplate. Shortly after the VS, Remington went to a long action version and called it the Sendero.

No they did not, as long as the pad was installed nicely and the stock hasn’t been altered in any other way . I don’t think it would hurt the value much.

Kcc: No.... that 1993 Remington 700 VS (700 BDL Varmint Special) should NOT have a "pad" of any kind on its stock. And this... I can NOT imagine why anyone would install a limb saver rubber recoil pad on a heavy barreled Rifle in caliber 223 Remington? Best of luck if you decide to try that Rifle.

Varmintguy,
700 vs is not a bdl varmint special. It stood for varmint synthetic. Basically a short action sendero with a hs precision stock or similar. I have figured out they came with a thin Remington pad. Someone removed it and just added the limbsaver. It's nicely done. Thanks to all

Kcc: Thanks for the clarification (Varmint Synthetic not Varmint Special) and it looks like you have answered your own question. Hold into the wind VarmintGuy

My .22 -250 VSF had the thin factory pad and am pretty sure it said Remington on it. Think it was an HS stock tney used.
Blued fluted was cool. But it bounced w a fixed 12x as much as my half incher ADL in .243 w 9X so away it went
Coworker had a blued fluted Sendero in .25 06.
Aint seen one since.

I have both a VS and a VSSF II. They both have the same thin rubber hard pad on them with “Remington” moulded into the middle of the pad. The stocks are the same style with palm swell and beaver tail fore end.
Cheers.
