WTS - Remington 700 "Mountain Rifle" 1993 production in 30/06 in EXCELLENT condition. Action does not get any smoother than this one and the trigger has been gunsmith adjusted to around 3.5-4 lbs and breaks real nice. Only mod to the rifle is that gunsmith fit on a screw-on muzzle brake as well as another screw-on to return it to conventional recoil (Very nice job that makes it very convenient feature). Rifle weighs around 6.5lbs bare. I will include base and rings with the rifle if you need them. Here is a little history below.
In 1993 Remington introduced what it called the Model 700 Mountain Rifle Stainless Synthetic. It featured a blind magazine and a slimmed-down mountain profile 22-inch barrel. Here are photos of the relevant pages in the 1993 Remington catalog.

Rifle has a 22-inch barrel with a slimmed down mountain profile, 1993 Remington Model 700 Mountain Rifle Stainless Synthetic. Stock is NOT the tupperware kind that is being produced today. It is much thicker and more solid.
I prefer a blind magazine for lightweight hunting rifles. Yes it has some drawbacks, mainly when it comes to cleaning. But a blind magazine also offers distinct advantages - lighter weight, a trimmer look that's also feels better for one-hand rifle carry and they are 100% reliable (can't accidently open dropping all your ammunition). Less openings as well to collect dust dirt and water.
Asking for $625 shipped CONUS. The suppressor alone was a $150 gunsmith job. Scope not included.
