Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Post pics of your Remington 700 mountain rifles

Will do same later after work. Thanks

My 300 is .642 at the muzzle and .736 at the end of the fore end.

The 375 has the same measurements.

Those are all mag contour ks barrels.

Not a factory Remington Model 700 Mountain rifle, but MY Rem 700 7 mm RM rifle that I put into a Weatherby Vanguard Griptonite stock, and that I hunt with in the mountains.

Mine is 0.648" @ the muzzle and 0.734" @ the forend.

I thought they probably used the same contour for all the magnum rounds. My 375 on that contour doesn't leave any doubt that it went off.

I keep coming back to this thread!!! looking at putting a 7mag mtn rifle together

My wife has one almost exactly like that, different scope. Shoots great!!!

My first mountain rifle was a 280 Remington - one of my favorite cartridges. It was the least accurate 700 I ever owned. One of the previous owners magma-ported it. I stayed away from Mountain rifles after that. That is until I found a nice 7x57 Mountain rifle. It’s a real sweet rifle - accurate and light. With TTSX bullets it knocks deer down fast.

I blame that magma-porting for the piss-poor accuracy on the 280.

I found a ss 270 barrel on E-bay for $100. It was supposed to be unfired. I unscrewed that 280 barrel and screwed on the 270 barrel. That is now my favorite 270. The last elk I killed was with that 270. But I wouldn’t hesitate to take that 7x57 hunting for a cow.

As I retire my bigger boomers I may buy another mountain rifle if I can one in good shape.

Just looked back over this entire thread. What a great looking bunch of rifles!
Amazing that the bolts haven't fallen off and the Walker triggers haven't exploded! ....grin....

I know right!

Yes there is some fantastic rifles on this thread!

Factory 7mm-08 Mt. Rifle dropped into a McMillan Mt. Rifle Stock with bolt customized from Karl.

I need to dig all of mine out, take a new pic. I’ve acquired more, sold a couple. I can’t say off hand how many I have now, have more 700’s than anything else. The Savage 99’s are catching up.

I have the three 7mm chamberings as well as a 270 and 30-06. I like them!

This rifle and picture is so awesome!!!

Ok then, I've had this Rifle since 1985 +/-, and now for the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey used to say......
Lj in Alaska....

I agree. Great Ga deer and a dandy looking rifle. Yes even Georgia boys use the word dandy….but they learned from their Midwest buddies😂

I am pretty new here and am enjoying these threads. I have a NIB Mountain Rifle 7X57,22" bbl. 1982, i just stuck it back and forgot about it. I have a 1981 Classic that i use for my shooter. I can't believe it's been over 40 years. I have always believed that 7X57 round was a lot better than a lot of people thought. What do you guys think that old rifle might be worth now? Not selling, just for reference.

Nice!
