Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Remington 700 classics

I have the 250 and 300 Savage editions and they're definitely sticking around.

The ‘Regular Production’ 700 Classics debuted in 1978 in 7 calibers: .22-250, .243, 6mm, 270, .280, 7mm Mag, &.30-06.
I bought my .270 Classic in 1980.

Not true. They began offering the limited edition series in 1981.

The original 700 Classics began in 1978, with 6 chamberings - one of them was indeed the .270 Win.

That was confusing to me when I first got interested in them, because I had 7mm Classic and didn’t know it.

Have had a few
220 swift
221 fireball
300 wby
308

All shot pretty good

Ditto.

I had a dozen or so chamberings and some NIB duplicates.

I moved nearly all of them over the years as I gravitated toward fiberglass and stainless.

Sold the final (.220 Swift) last summer for 5x what I paid for it.

I have two. 250 Savage and 6.5x55 Swede

Interesting. Wasn't aware of that.



Sometimes this place is good for somethin'

I saw a 700 Classic in 35 Whelen for sale for $1600 a couple of weeks ago and it sold fast. I know a gun head that has two 300H&H NIB

I have them in 250 Savage , 300 Savage, and 350 RemMag. Used to have a 280 Rem, but traded it for a pristine 1956 Savage 99F in 300 Sav.

I had a 7x57 and a 8x57 also the 264 mag . That 8 came with a 24" barrel has the j lock but is still a fine shooter with 150 gr SP Hornady bullets loaded to 2800fps. Kills deer like it was a 30-06 or a 308 that were loaded with 150 gr SP hornadys just [bleep] amazing huh?..mb lol

In Tulsa a couple years ago a guy across the aisle had more than a dozen of them for sale. I bought some from him. I’ve only sold one, a 6mm. Alas I didn’t bring enough $’s. I have a 22-250, 7x57, 280, 257, 350 RM, two 300 Weatherby’s, & 25-06. I’m looking for a 250 Savage and a 300 H&H.

The first 300 Weatherby was so accurate with full power loads I bought a second as a back up. The only ones I’ve shot quite a bit are the 7x57 & the 300. I’ve shot the 25-06 a few times, but it’s hard to tell by looking at it. The others may have been fired, IDK and can’t tell.
The 7x57 was bought many years ago - about when they came out.

😘

Always wanted one in 7x57.

Yep. I bought mine just as soon as I heard they were making them.

7x57 would nice. A 280 or 6.5x55 would suit me.

I have one in 223.

I currently have the following: 6mm,250,270,8x57,338, and 350. They fit me so well.
