A classics a classic.

Sometimes you see something and you just kinda have to. Haven't shot it yet, need to find a mounting solution. Leupold tubes too short.

Its very, very clean overall though. Nice feeling and handling rifle.

My brother’s 6.5x55 700 Classic is his hands down favorite rifle. He had another 6.5x55 but it wasn’t nearly as accurate as the 700. If you get to hating that 700 send me a message, I’ll help you out.

Remington did everything right in that package. Wish you they would bring it back.

Agreed and I’m a 70 guy to the end. Those Classics are gems.

700 Classics, Original 700 Mountain Rifles, and Model 725s are all top picks from Remington IMO. Congrats on a dandy.

Thank you fellas. You're wonderful enablers.

Kidding, but you did reinforce that I made the right choice not letting this one slip by.

Never really warmed up to 700 but I really am with this one.

Those and the original Mountain Rifles were the best looking of all 700s.

I bought a 700 Classic from a fellow fire member. I took it to Texas and the ranch manager said, " finally someone brings a real rifle ". He said he see's all the stainless, synthetic wonder rifles ( which I happen to like also ) in various calibers. Seeing a wood stocked, nicely blued rifle in 3006 was refreshing. The 700 Classic did not let me down. Congrats on yours in a super classic caliber!

I bought a 700 Classic the first year they came out. a 270. Killed a truckload, or two, deer with it. Still have it, although I don't use it anymore. It's got a lot of battle scars, but it will still shoot as good as it ever did. IMO, it's as nice looking and functioning a rifle as has ever been made.

Had a 270 but let it get away. Holding on to my 222 though. Love it

Current issue Warne two piece bases have a reversible front with two cross slots. I have them on a long action 700.
