Ok folks today was one of those strange days. My dad (almost 70) starts sending texts while I’m in a meeting at work, says a guy he used to work with (my dad has been retired for 15 years after 35 years as a DOD fireman) called wanting to sell some guns. I get some mediocre photos of a Remington 700 and a price. Gut told me to go for it, mostly because of what else was there. Typical deal, dad’s buddy, not a gun guy, inherited these guns from a family member collection 10-20 years ago. Dad’s buddies health is now declining and family has no interest wants the guns gone.
So why I agreed to buy it, one because I can afford it and happy to help, but also in the collection was a super clean Winchester 52 with 20x Unertl, which my dad bought and I’m trying to identify in the Winchester forum, a Perazzi shotgun and this 700. I know I have seen this model before. It’s a 24” ADL 7mm rem mag in a very unique camo pattern synthetic stock. Awful photos were good enough I could make out a Zeiss scope in what I think are Talley rings and bases. My initial thought was custom shop gun but I could be wrong. I’m almost certain it’s all factory as it looks unfired and I know I’ve seen this gun before. So how does one identify these older guns? I can email and text photos but haven’t learned how to post them since the photo bucket melt down. Stock almost looks bell and Carlson from photos I found…does this awful description ring any bells for anyone?

Serial number and date code

Rynite stock or KS? Sounds like a jackpot.

Look like this? It’s a Google pic, not mine. This one is a BDL.

Gunnut308, pretty much just ADL, what is it... mine had open sights but they have been removed and filler screws installed.

I’m really good at misinformation 😃
I believe 1987-1989 for the RS and FS.
RS Rynite Stock FS Fiberglass Stock KS Kevlar Stock several years
RS made by DuPont?? FS by Brown Precision KS by Brown Precision and later McMillan

Could be a custom shop model 700.

Did the custom shop ever do camo stocks? I don’t remember seeing any. There may be some floating around.

Could be a custom shop model 700. Should say Custom Shop on barrel or floorplate........but not always. Cartridge stamp usually looked hand stamped too......but not always.

Custom shop guns do not have the 'warning' info imprinted on the barrel. Just caliber and proof markings.

Don’t see custom shop anywhere….and it does have the warning label next to the 7 REM Mag. Mom sent better pictures this morning. The camo pattern on the model 7 above looks to be the same.
So guessing it’s a KS…

None of my KS have the warning.
If it has the emblem on the grip cap it is an RS otherwise, it’s an FS.

Didn't Cabelas sell them with Camo stocks or Bass Pro Shops?

If it has filler screws from previous sights, no cheek piece, and adl - it should be an FS. It’s not a KS.
