I originally posted this in the campfire, but it was suggested to post it here.
Can anyone fill me in on the story behind the prefixes on the Model 700 rifles?
I know they were instituted after the GCA of 68, and I have seen A, C, and E prefixes, but aside from the manufacture date, are some better quality or accuracy wise than others (mainly the change from C and E prefixes after Dupont sold Remington)?
That bolded question was never answered before the thread was hijacked. I have a 700 manufactured in May 2011 according to the date code. I think the first letter of the serial number is an "S", although it is hard to be sure. What does that "S" (or whatever) indicate?
