Looking at an older stainless, synthetic 700 in 270 with a blind magazine (adl style). Is there any specific markings that makes something a "mountain rifle" model??

RatherB-

Remington's first foray into the area of stainless rifles was in 1993. They made them in .25/06, .270, .280, and .30-06 (As well as 7mm rem Mag, and .300 win) The standard calibers were Mtn Rifle contour barrels. Stocks appear to be Lee Six. At least I have a Lee Six stock and it appears identical to my SS/Syn, Mtn rifle stock...

They were made only one year, then in 1994 they became BDL's with standard barrel contours... HTH-

He could take it to Swaimpee's and have him take a look? He'd know right off. Could likely spot one from a hunnert yards or so.


If three or more people think you're a dimwit, chances are at least one of them is right.

Mountain barrel contour is about .55 at 22".

Standard contour is about .66 at 22".

You can tell it's a Mountain Rifle when you carry it all day then swap guns with your buddies BDL 7 Mag and he says, "Holy [bleep] this is light."

Swampy are you in PC?


There is no accounting for taste.

Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.

Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however,
Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.

Guyz...I keep tellin' you...we can use Swampy as a contra-indicator...

If he says its a BDL...its not..

If he says its a Mt. rifle...its not

If he says its not accurate...it is..

and so forth..

^this. I have one from '93 and the people at Remington weren't much help with the serial number when i got it used, at least the guy I talked to wasn't, tried to tell me it was a BDL serial number. Check the barrel stamp to determine the year of manufacture and then just measure the barrel dimensions if you can.

Hope it works out. Mine appeared to be a safe queen when I got it last year and is still pretty much stock and shoots like a house a fire.
