Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds WTB Remington 700 Classic .17

Looking to buy a Remington 700 .17 Classic. I am looking for the one made in 1999. If you have one you are willing to sell please let me know. Thanks!

I am new to the forum but will communicate with seller any way they need. Phone, email....whatever makes you comfortable. I also have this posted on predatormasters.

Thanks

Bump....Someone has to have one of these in the safe they aren't shooting. Thanks for looking!!

Tough one to find. Here's one on Gunbroker but better get out your wallet....

Thanks for the link. I saw that one and talked with the owner. He won't budge on the price and while it's a nice gun even NIB I don't think it's worth that much. Plus I plan on shooting the one I buy. Not a safe queen but would like it in 95% plus condition.

What do they go for these days, in 95% condition?

$725.00+

gluck,

What state do you live?

Kentucky why do you ask?

I live in AZ, Phoenix to be exact. Actually, Fountain Hills, AZ a Suburb of Phoenix. For the right gun and to make a seller feel comfortable I am willing to talk on the phone and can travel to make the purchase. Must talk via phone first.

If you can find one for $725 in nice condition, and you really want that specific configuration, you'd better buy it.
They only made about 3k of them if I remember right.

Just picked up a 220 swift classic as new for $700.00 their out there if your not in a hurry and don't get a stiffy.

It can happen. The problem is it is such a specific example that some calibers don't seem to show up on the used market often. Pass one up and it may be a long time until you see it again. I've had my eyes out for a 17 Rem and a 6.5x55 for a long time...During that same time I could have bought several 8x57 and 300 Savages for reasonable prices.
Like the OP-I'm not interested in the GunBroker price either as mine would get used as well.

Picked up nib Bob, Swift and Swede a few years ago....the Bob and Swift are gone and the Swede remains. Local shop has a high condition 7MM 08 Classic that's been languishing on the rack for the last 6 months or so.

Saw a pristine original 700 in 17 this weekend at a gunshow. Beautiful.

Do you remember the Vendor name that had it. I'll track them down if I can. Thanks

My ffl is still at the show, I'll send him a text and see if he can get loose to look for it. I don't remember the vendors name. I want to say it was $695, but I am foggy on that.

That would be great if he could get me the vendors name and phone number. Our next show in AZ isn't until Feb 21st and 22nd. Not a single Classic .17 at our last three shows. Seems like they are feast or famine. Two years ago before I wanted one I saw 4 at one show!!

A really nice BDL (not Classic) sold for $649 today at our local show. I walked by it one too many times and watched somebody else take it home.
No box and a small mark on the triggerguard are all that kept if for passing for new.

Wow! They are out there. I'll keep looking and find one eventually. I did pick up a .223 today for $630. Not a Classic but looks exactly like one. Not the BDL Deluxe stock.

I sold a beautiful NIB 17 Classic to my cousin years ago (cheap!) so I gave him a call today to see if there was any chance he wanted to part with it and he said flat out - "No way! That's my favorite gun!". Hopefully you find one NIB because once somebody shoots it, they're not going anywhere....
