Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 700 Mountain

I have one you don't see very often. Mid 90's stainless/synthetic. Sent it to Carolina Precision , they recrowned the muzzle , squared the action, tweaked the trigger, and pillar bedded it. Mounted a leupold 2.5 X 8 in leupold rings and base. Shoots 160 gr. NPT's into .5 - .75" groups. Killed a bunch of deer and a couple black bears with it. I say buy it , you won"t be sorry.

My early 700 Mountain rifle in .280 was the only Remington I've never been able to shoot. It was a 2 1/2" rifle when I did everything right using custom loads, bench rest techniques, etc. Even caved in and let a smith work on it and the best we could do was 2 1/2". I killed elk and deer with it but when it wouldn't even deliver 2 1/2 I sent it down the road. Told the buyer it wasn't a shooter but he said he could fix it, never heard back.

Sharing my experience since everyone else's was different.
