Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Remington 700 classics

I have a 1988 Classic .35 Whelen that I traded in a POS M70 .338 Win Mag that wouldn’t shoot. I didn’t even know what a Classic was when I bought it. The first box of 200 gr Core Lokts didn’t shoot well and I thought here we go again. But after about 50 rounds down the barrel, it settled in and shoots 225 gr TBBC and Partitions into sub-Moa groups. I swapped the original stock for a beater BDL stock to keep the original in good shape. Why, I don’t know because I’m not ever selling it. Years of elk hunting has “seasoned” the old BDL stock even more. I wish I’d bought a .300 Savage and 8mm Mauser when they were cheap NIB!
