I bought a 700 awr model 700 for a bear hunt in Alaska that got canceled due to covid.

Has 23 rounds down range. This is the full stainless action and barrel that's coated matte black. Has grayboe Outlander stock. Never been in the field. Only range time.

$750 shipped.

Pictures on rokslide. I can be reached on here.

Man these things are shooters. If I wasn’t putting parts together for a build I’d grab this

Coated how?/with what?

According to Remington's website, it's cerakote.

Yes its cerokoted. There is one chip where the bolt slides in to the action. Laker is right. Mine was very accurate with starting loads but had another issue.

With starting loads i was getting extremely difficult primary extraction. 2 out of 3 rounds i couldn't extract without pulling very hard and tapping with my palm. I tried some factory and all 5 rounds i shot i had issues with extraction. I was going to just deal with it on my hunt to Kodiak for brownies. Probably not a smart choice admittedly, going into Kodiak brown bear area with a rifle that is stiff to reload..... Anyways when covid hit my hunt got canceled and I sent the rifle back to Remington. They found an issue with the bolt and replaced it and its been back in my hands for about 2 weeks and i have not fired it.


Before all of that it was shooting easily under an inch but not quite half inch groups with 225grain TTSX's.

Great rifle...I’ve had 3 and really liked them all

Back up. Let's move this. $700

You can't buy the stock and action for this price. Would make a great donor.

btt

Ugg I want this rifle for a kodiak hunt. Wrong time of year

It's the perfect time for it....

I assume this is the new American Wilderness Rifle, not the Alaskan Wilderness Rifle offered by the Custom Shop.

Yes last year's model. Here is a link.
