Can someone give me detailed information as how to distinguish between the mountain rifle and a classic. Remington said the rifle was made in 1990. Thanks Daniel

Mountain Rifle: very slim barrel contour, black fore end tip, cheek piece
Classic: standard sporter contour, no tip, no cheek piece

According to Remington the 7x57 was the Classic in 1981.

Thanks,mathman! I purchased what I thought was the mountain rifle used, early this year for the wife but was told today by a man that I thought would know the difference that I had the classic. But your description of the mountain rifle fits her gun to a T.

Nice snag if your rifle in a 700 MR in 7X57.

I'd say a Classic would be a nice snag too.
Either way put a good bullet on top of a modern load and sharpen the knives.

Here's a picture of a Mountain Rifle. This one happens to be a 7X57 too. url=https://flic.kr/p/7REkRk] [/url] Remington 700 by Brant Lindquist

Actually, I think the Mountain Rifle is Remington's Nicest Product... well balanced, attractive etc...
and in a 7 x 57... that chambering was one of the 'pick of the litter' so to speak...
I'd say you're lucky to have one...
