Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters LH Model 700 w/ Model 70 safety and extractor pics

talentrec that would be about the right time frame.

Another one in Anchorge at Great Northern guns LH SS Rem 700 375 H&H, 3 position LH Safety, Control feed, Butch Searcy conversion,
Looks like a Brown precision stock, Banded Front sight. $995
Just picked it up and took bad cell pics.

That's a steal!

Action may or may not be SS barrel looked to be. Unsure of stock make but looked like a glass stock from the 80,s. With a little Cerakote & and stock repaint it would look new. 3 position safety position detents, not that positive but works. Nice lively feel to it.

Just saw that one yesterday. Nice rifle and the machine work is excellent. Looks like it must have been a guides gun cause it's been used.

kk: That's interesting!

By coincidence, Saturday night I was at a game dinner with that friend who was the owner of the OP's rifle.

The barrel is a Krieger.

Some years back I seen a Springfield that was both shortened and converted to left hand done by Bob West of Eugene Oregon.

Doc: IIRC old Charlie Askins used to hunt with various rifles that were converted by Bob West.

The Brown conversion M700 was done by Chet Brown the founder of Brown Precision. His were more like the first gen Ruger 77's. They were still push feed but with a long outside extractor and the Remington ejector. He put it on 458 Lotts etc. Back then there were no generally available CRF actions with 3.6" boxes.

The Searcy conversions were to a CRF style with a blade ejector.

Rick I didn't know Brown did them, too.

Not the same version of a " conversion ".
