So besides the Mossberg i won, here is the 338 Remington model 700, not sure why there is no black forend, my ADL one has this type of plain stock, so maybe they modified an ADL one.

Looks like a Classic from here. I agree. The Model 700 Limited Edition "Classic" was produced from 1981 to 2005. For each of those years Remington offered it in a different caliber: 1981: 7 x 57 Mauser 1982: .257 Roberts 1983: .300 H&H 1984: .250 Savage 1985: .350 Rem Mag 1986: .264 Win Mag 1987: .338 Win Mag 1988: .35 Whelen 1989: .300 Weatherby Mag 1990: .25-06 Rem 1991: 7mm Weatherby Mag 1992: .220 Swift 1993: .222 Remington 1994: 6.5 x 55 Swedish 1995: .300 Win Mag 1996: .375 H&H 1997: .280 Rem 1998: 8 mm Mauser 1999: .17 Rem 2000: .223 Rem 2001: 7mm-08 Rem 2002: .221 Fireball 2003: .300 Savage 2004: 8 mm Mauser 2005: .308 Win

Thank you for the info, they did not call it a classic in the listing, but it makes sense, I had not thought of that. So looks like it should be 1987 manufacture.

It would have left the factory with iron sights and is probably drilled for them. Not all Classics had them but the 338’s did. Ought to be a real useful gun in your area. I’ll probably pick up another one some day. My brother owns my last one.

Another tell-tale of a Classic would be a floorplate.

Looks nice, classics have nice clean lines. They fit me well, like hell out of them.

Well the rifle had no sights, plugs in holes and one Plug in where the scope base would mount and the sling studs weren't there, so put them in.
Also noticed the safety does not lock the bolt, my very old model 700 in ADL does, so assume this has the newer type trigger?
It breaks around 4 LBS which is not bad at all.

Good looking rifle in my book
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

I bought one in 1980 or later 70's it was chambered in 7-mm Remington Mag. All the same looks. I have a brother in-law who bought one as well. Just an FYI

Having owned 3 Classics, I never got it. Compared to a M70 Super Grade the were as plain as could be. Blah wood, nor forend tip, no special blue and no more accurate. With some looking, one could fine an ADL or even BDL with killer wood and better checkering. Just a Plain Jane rifle with undeserved cult status. Take a B grade 721 over any Classic.

I Compared to a M70 Super Grade the were as plain as could be. Apples and oranges. They weren't about being fancy. Generally, it was about the cartridge, not the stock. Not everyone likes bling. I love to look at nice stocks and such, but I never seem to hunt them, and if I don't hunt something, it goes down the road. With some looking, one could fine an ADL or even BDL with killer wood and better checkering. Really? I'd like to see all these adl's & bdl's in .35 Whelen, 8x57, 7x57, .250 Savage, .221 fireball, etc. I'd take the average classic any day over a winchester for accuracy. YMMV

Have to agree with Teeder, in that the reason I like the classics are it was about the cartridge and being able to hunt them. If I had something so fancy I didn’t want to ding it, then what good is it?
