Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Remington 700, 223 police w/Jewel trigger

I think this was a California police contract over run, at least that is what the dealer said. Again, by memory it was made 1991 or so (not sure)? D code should be 2009, but I bought it 10 years or so earlier. More recent models have 2 front studs, this early model only has one front stud.
I replaced the factory trigger with a Jewell set to a few ounces, and fired a box. So this rifle is close to new. I imagine this has been in the safe unfired for 20+ years.
It will come with Leupold base. The barrel is 20 inches.
Price 1250.00 plus shipping, probably 40 bucks, or pick up in central PA.
Weaver 6-20 plex/dot is 250 more if you need it.
Payment by paypal FF or USPS MO, naturally cash FTF.

Barrel code of XO translates to Dec 1994. But I know enough about Remington's to get myself in trouble. Nice rifle!

Tag…..

Appears to be a 700VS. I had a few of them. The Police model is a different stock.

bhoges is correct...700VS....the PSS has a different stock.....still yet the VS is a nice rifle and typically great shooters. GLWS.

Trying to contain myself Terry… That’s a good one!

[quote=bhoges]Appears to be a 700VS.

This is correct. The VS would have had a 24” or 26” barrel, so not exactly a VS either.

Bump.

They made 20” vs in about 1995-97. I owned three of them. The first year had a polished jeweled bolt and a nice matte finish the second two were a rougher matte finish and a blued jeweled bolt. All shot great

I believe they were a distributor special

Here are requested pics.
Concave barrel end, Jewel trigger safety, jewelled bolt.

Nice!

Twist?

I did not measure the twist with a cleaning rod yet, but my guess would be 1/9. That was the standard police twist, and this was for california highway police special order according to the dealer 25 years ago. Again Ill measure it when I get home.

Bump

Not a PSS but a fine Varminter

Did you ever confirm the twist?

It seems to be a 1-11 on my rod. I did it a few times and I get the same thing.
If it was 1-9 or 1-12, it would be 1-12 I guess.

I've had quite a few Remington 700's in 223. I have never seen one with anything but a 1-12 twist rate that was made before the early 2000's. After then, they changed to a 1-9. An example would be the Model 7 Predator model. They were made between 2008 and 2015, if I'm correct. I have one of the first ones in 223, and it is 1-12 ROT. I also had one of the last ones made, and it is 1-9. I also have a 700 XCR Tactical and a Model 7 in 223, both are which 1-9 and made after 2012.

This is just my observation, and not meant to be the gospel truth.
