I have one in 35 Whelen. I like the stock pattern and the.way it handles better than any of my other rifles.

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 Everything in 35 Whelen has been selling fast and expensive lately. I have a buddy that has been looking for a 35 Whelen and he can’t find one that isn’t going for the better part of $2K. Best way to get a Whelen is screw a new barrel on an ‘06.

In the late 90s I had a 7X57 and 300H&H, and a stainless 257 Roberts. Nice rifles, but none stayed.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

I sure wish Remington thought that a lefty version would have been considered for a Classic release

The H&H could have been a keeper, but the rifles were way larger than necessary for the other two being long actions. If I kept the 300 it would have been a neat field rifle. I also had a 257 Roberts Mountain Rifle but it wasn’t throated for Caucasians. Bullets seated to fit the mag couldn’t get anywhere close to the throat. These days, pass me a Kimber Montana instead. The Classic stocks are decent but for me easy to beat for ergonomics. Even Carmichel said it was an exercise in frustration in designing them with Remington.

I always hoped Remington would build a few 700 Classics in 358 WIN, but it never happened......

Missed buying the same Classic 250 SAV two times. Was told it was very accurate. Went out a bought a different 257 Roberts to ease the pain.  The Classic was always a desirable rifle.

Love to have one in .222. I have a mint 7.5 Leupold from the 70's that would go nicely on it.

I remember when the market was flooded with Classics in 8X57MM and 300 Savage and nobody wanted them

I had a classic in .416 rem mag. I miss it, but then I don't. My old shoulder isn't what it used to be.
