Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Lightweight Remington 700 .270 Win

Continuing to thin the herd.
My son has latched on to a win 70 in .257 Roberts that I just acquired, so we no longer have a need for this, which was his primary hunting rifle.
Proceeds will go towards the fees for his boy scout trip to Philmont in July of 23

This started as a custom rifle that was in rough shape when I purchased it in 2019. It was marked "Harrison Gunworks" on the barrel, but that went away when I prepped the metal for Cerakote.
There was a teflon like coating that was peeling on the metal, and the fiberglass stock was broken at the "dam" between the trigger and mag inletting.

I rebuilt the stock with fiberglass mesh and a product that is similar to Devcon, called Fixit. Also bedded a nut for the front triggerguard screw to eliminate a third screw contacting the action. (thanks Offshoreman for all of the help on that) stock is finished in coyote tan air cure Cerakote.

The metal has been finished in armor black oven cure Cerakote.

This rifle is light. The stock weight a hair over a pound on its own. The builder of the rifle spent considerable time trimming metal from the action, fluting the bolt, sleletonizing the handle, etc.

Barrel is 22.5" from action face to the end of the muzzlebrake. 21" to the end of the rifling. muzzle diameter is .550
13.5" LOP

As it sits, it weighs under 5.5 lbs. If you really wanted to shave ounces, One could trade out the steel triggerguard and bolt shroud for an aluminum versions, skeletonize the mag box, and lose the brake.

We settled on 57Gr H4831 under a 130 Gr, Sierra GK. Easy to shoot under an inch with this load.
We have put 50-60 rounds through the rifle, but it was purchased used and I do not know how many rounds were fired before i acquired it.

$1100 shipped.

What are the thread specs?

Good question.
Based on a couple of quick measurements, it looks like 7/16-28.
Before I swear to that I will pick up a nut to check it on later this week.

Nice gun. Good luck with the sale. I took my son to Philmont this summer. It was an epic experience

$1050

Is the metal under the cerakote stainless or blued?

I believe the barrel and action are all chromoly steel, not stainless.
