Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds FS: Rem 700 .350 Rem Mag semi-custom

I hate to do this, but with a kid in college, I need to free up some $ for the big game applications. I'd rather hunt than fondle this rifle.

$800 shipped for rifle and bases/rings to lower 48. No questions asked 3 day return policy. Scope not included.

It's a hard to find factory 700 BDL 350 Rem Mag that has had considerable action and barrel work as detailed below.
Action and Barrel
- Sako extractor installed.
- Remington Short Action 700. Serial number is A prefix.
- Factory barrel was removed, action trued and barrel indexed with original Remington barrel stamping face down.
- Sights removed, holes plugged (plugs are face down in stock, see line above).
- Barrel cut and target crowned at 20"
- Nicely jeweled bolt (factory).
- Action is smoooooth.
- Bolt face shows the rifle has been shot, but not much.
- Feeds and cycles flawlessly.
- Both lugs show even contact with action.
- There are small scratches and a couple larger scratches in the bluing.
- Bottom metal is in extremely good condition. It is scratched around the trigger guard bolts.
- I do not know who did the gunsmithing. It was done very nicely.

Trigger/Safety
- Action has to be safety off to lift bolt, just like God intended it.
- Trigger has been adjusted. It's not superb, but not bad. (maybe 4.5 pounds)
- Since the trigger safety has not been in for Remington's recall, use at your own risk. I've cycled it a few dozen times. Slammed the bolt home hard. Smacked the butt on the floor. It's safe.

Stock
- 13.5" LOP very nicely finished with a Pachmayer pad.
- Full length bedded. Rear tang is not bedded.
- Stock looks to have been sanded and refinished with an oil finish. Checkering has been re-cut. It could use a few more coats of finish, IMO.
- There are many small scratches and a few deep large scratches in the stock.
- Factory Sling studs are there.

Bases and rings are included. I believe they are Millet brand.

Overall this is an awesome handling rifle. Balance is perfect. A 200 grain X bullet will deflate anything on the continent.....

Again, I don't know who did the gunsmithing. I don't know for a fact that that the action was trued and accurized. The guy I bought it from did not have the paperwork anymore. The barrel was obviously removed. The wear on the lugs supports the accurization claim.

$800 shipped to lower 48 for rifle, bases and rings. Scope is not included.

Buyer will have the option to buy 2 new boxes of Remington 200 grain factory loads....which is crazy hard to find!

I have not fired the rifle. I bought the rifle a while ago, and have been looking for ammo to buy, which I have now located. If there is no interest in the rifle, I am going to go shoot it on Monday. I'll post results!

No trades. I need the $ to pull some good tags in CO and Idaho!

Below are a pile of pictures.

Look closely at the pic below. It shows the factory stamping at the 5o'clock position.

As mentioned above. Buyer of rifle will have option to buy 2 boxes of Remington ammo. Ammo is a bit difficult to find. Midway currently has Nosler custom ammo at $65/box.

I'd be interested in the scope if you'd sell it. Nice rifle.

I am interested in the ammo

Scope is not for sale.

Muskie, if the buyer opts out of the ammo, you're first in line.

Bump for the original short mag.

This rifle will do it all.

Bump.

magazine capacity is 3 + 1.

bump.

Not trying to hijack this but I also have some factory ammo, fired brass and a set of dies for 350 Rem Mag as well..
PM me if this interests anyone.

bump.

Taking it out tomorrow to shoot.

Went out in the mud and shot the rifle this morning. Shot 7 rounds total. 1 @ 50 yards. 3 @ 100 yards, and 3 @ 200 yards. The rifle shoots the factory ammo good but not great. I'd guess with reloading you can much improve on the shooting below.

Recoil was very similar to shooting a lightweight '06 with hot 180's.


First pic shows 50 yard shot after bore sighting below and left of brass.

100 yard 3 shot group above and right of the brass. It's good but not great. I might have pulled the lower shot. I adjusted the scope and backed out to 200 yards.



I didn't adjust the scope enough.

200 yards 3 shots.


Price changed to $775 for rifle, bases, rings and 33 rounds of ammo, and 7 pieces of brass.

$775 shipped for rifle, mounts, rings, ammo and brass.

Would consider partial trade for recent model Leupold 2-7, 1.5-6, or 2.5-8, or 3-9x40.

Anyone else notice the glut of nice rifles offered for sale here lately?

Offers welcome.

PM's answered.

A question was asked if this was a 700 Classic or BDL. The answer is I don't know.

My rifle's serial # is A68029XX, if that helps clarify.

These for sale on gunbroker have all the same markings.

It would also lead me to believe that my rifle has been re-blued or has a coating of some sort.

Let's try $710 for the rifle, mounts, rings, ammo, and brass package.

Everyone must be as broke as I am!

This rifle will crush the big and toothy up close yet still tip them over on the cross canyon shot.

PM's returned.

$710 for the package.

$660 for Rifle, bases and rings.

This rifle needs to go to Alaska!

Rifle and ammo no longer for sale.

Thanks all.
