Ben Lurkin: Good for you on the primer scores.
Wish the Varmint Special had still been there for your perusal.
I scored on two more Remington 700 BDL Varmint Specials last year. Both were near mint and at bargain basement prices and both in caliber 22-250 Remington.
I mentioned these acquisitions last year on this forum.
By the way I did test both Rifles for accuracy and their accuracy was so good that I changed my mind on both of them for just selling them for a quick $200.00 apiece profit and am going to keep them in my collection til who knows when!
I own, and have owned, a BUNCH of these Remington 700 Varmint Specials in various calibers over the last 50 years or so and they all have shot at least very well for me.
Come on Big Green get back on track.
Hold into the wind
