What did I buy - 7x57 #18340240 04/14/23 Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 7,012 Likes: 2 Katy, Texas S Sakohunter264 OP Campfire Tracker OP Sakohunter264 Campfire Tracker S Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 7,012 Likes: 2 Katy, Texas Just picked this one up this morning. Not sure what I bought in terms of a stock, but the barreled action sure looks nice. Appears to be a 3 position safety too. Caliber is 7x57. Your input is appreciated.

Hoping some folks chime in. Can anybody identify the brand of front sight?

Floor plate doesn't look thick enough to be Williams, and I don't recall ever seeing Blackburn metal for the 700. Not PTG.

Yup, but same pitch, quick job to turn down Rem 1.062 to 1.000...but why would you? Rem bbl on a 77 or Win 70...yuk. Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I agree on Ruger sights. They can be purchased directly from Midway or other various shops. Last edited by Sakohunter264; 04/14/23.

Pretty nice score. How does it shoot?

I could put a nice scope on it and hunt a lifetime with it. I would probably ditch the mount though.

It wasn’t a Ruger. But they do look similar. I’ve never seen a safety like that on a 700, sounds like others have. I prefer classic. Semper Fi I used to run with the hare.
