1963 Pair 700 Carbines / Eye Candy - 05/20/12
Here for your pleasure is my pair of 1963 700 Carbine 20" rifles in 222 Rem & 222 Rem Mag. Both have 4 digit serial numbers. Both have Leupold 2 piece Dual-Dovetail bases with medium rings and a Leupold VX-1 2-7 Gloss scopes.
1. 222 Rem mounted in a McMillan Edge / sporter barrel channel that I received in trade from another member. Weight is 7 pounds 1 3/4 ounces. 1/2" recoil pad.
2. 222 Rem Mag which I purchased at a local shop. This rifle was missing the rear sight. The wood stock needed a make-over but blue was excellent. Purchased this McMillan Mountain Rifle, Edge Tech, sporter barrel channel stock from the McMillan web site. It didn't come with sling studs but it's OK I'll carry it anyways. Weight is 7 pounds 3 1/4 ounces. 1" recoil pad.
Thanks to a few members I now have 400 pieces of brass for the 222 Mag. Both are a joy to shoot. Had a box of factory Remington 55gr ammo to sight in the scope. Edit to say that I purchased a period correct rear sight for the 222 Rem Mag on Ebay for $40.00 which made the rifle whole again.
