Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds Remington 700 Custom Shop - 280 FS Sold Locally

Here is a rifle I picked up a while back, have yet to shoot it, so I’ve decided to let go of it.

It looks to be a Remington 700 CS from the 80’s where the prior owner taped/refinished the stock and added a muzzle break. Weighs about 6lbs 12oz as it sits.

Definitely has been hunted and enjoyed, but not abused.

Please feel free to ask any questions you might have.

$1100 shipped to your FFL as long as they accept rifles from individuals.

Thanks

Hell of a paint job!

Brown or McMillan stock? Year made? Serial number prefix letter? Thanks

Is this a KS under that Ted Nugent inspired paint job?

Yep, it is pretty neat! It looks like it was painted pink, black tape added and then a clear coat applied. It is well done and the tape gives just enough texture to help with grip.

I am not positive, but it seems like a Brown Precision stock to me.

This rifle has a B prefix and that is why I have assumed it was made in the 80’s.

I am hoping others will chime in should I be wrong.

What is the serial number prefix?
Stock is presumably synthetic?

Edit - yes, b should be brown. No date code on barrel?

Jewelling in the bolt?

No, the only stamps on the barrel are caliber and the stamps in the second to last picture.

No jewelling on the bolt

If the new owner is interested, I also have an unopened set of Hornady Dies and 4 boxes of Hornady Superformance 139gr SST ammo.

What’s the length of barrel to the muzzle brake; and if you have time, what does it mic at that point?

From the end of the receiver to the brake is right around 22 3/4” and mics right around 15.15mm/0.596”

TY.

BTT for you.

Always thought it was interesting the “custom shop” barrels barely got a cartridge stamping & nothing more, almost as an honorable mention. It was always an instant flag that it is a custom shop barrel.

It is.
What’s curious to me is that I’ve not seen one from that era without a date stamp on the barrel.

Best I’ve been able to figure it was around 2005-2006 when they started stamping “Remington Custom Shop” on the top of the barrel.

That's ... different.
