This thread brings back memeories! I was riding my motorcycle in Spring 1975 and stopped at a big local gun dealer. Was looking at the relatively new LH Rem 700's. I wanted to see one so I asked the dealer which one he had in stock. Have'em all, he said, which one do you want to see? I've always been one to want something different, so I said let me see the 7mm gun. He brought one out, cut the tape on the box open and pushed it towards me. I opened the box, saw the wood, threw the lid on the box down and said I'll take it. He said " Wow, that gun has beautiful wood." I made him write it up on the spot with that serial number until I could return with a car to pick it up. He did so grudgingly because he was also left handed. LOL.

Made 12/74, Buehler scope mounts, Leupold 2-7 scope, most beautiful American Walnut Fiddleback stock I've ever seen.
