Not mine. I don't want my barrel to be a safe queen, it was made to use.

Then I suggest you do something about your face. Travis

Here is another picture, this one showing how well the 222 mag "The Spatula" outperformed the 17 again...
That rifle is a 22-250... Travis Exactly, the 17 was too afraid to get out of the trunk...

I'm waiting to see some more contenders.
Travis My 1999 Remington Classic .17 Rem, compact 3x9 Leupold, I only shoot factory ammo because it works just fine for coyote hunting. I got it sighted-in at 100 yds and called it good, I've never shot a coyote beyond 72 paces (not yds). It's also my go-to rifle for introducing new shooters to centerfires, the lack of recoil gets 'em hooked every time and leaves them smiling!! In this pic I'm using one of those snap-on camo-covers, it's essential for close-in work in grasslands where the coyotes have been 'educated' by other hunters who didn't know what the hell they were doing.

I think we were on our third rifles by the time that pic was snapped. Travis

Damn! A classic? That is a nice rifle. Too bad it's not mine otherwise you could be in contention. These judges are sticklers ya' know?

You can just refer to them as Texans. We'll know what you mean. Travis

I'm NEVER selling it!! A local gun-shop had it in the racks in the spring of 2000, nobody else knew what the hell it was for and I snapped it up the second I saw it. I mean I clutched it in a death-grip, it was going home with ME

You can just refer to them as Texans. We'll know what you mean. Travis There's much iron in your words, unfortunately. I have to come along and dispose of them, eventually. It's been quite a learning curve to see how sneaky they are after a few local rednecks take pot-shots at them with a .30-30 lever-action from the road.

Thank you. I've kept the shipping box and all of the paperwork for it just because it's a Classic. I've always thought I should get another Classic (particularly the 1994 6.5x55 Swedish, for deer hunting), but I'm afraid I'd want them all, then

I already submitted the best 700 Classic in 17Rem known to exist and was told it wasn't plastic enough for those bugger picking judges.

FG! You cannot submit the same rifle twice! The judge's have taken notice.

What's the story with the barrel on that one? Shoot out the factory barrel or did you have a problem with the factory barrel??

Both. It never did shoot much better than MOA so I screwed a new 22" PN on at somewhere around 200rnds. It's shootin sumbitch now and handy as can be with the shorter barrel. This one and the CZ I posted earlier are the two I'd NEVER let go.

There was a contractor up here that bought two Classic's every year they made them. One for shooting and one NIB for collecting. A few years ago he was killed in a motorcycle accident and his druggy son's sold em off before he was even cold.

I had a few classics but I got tired of wood stocks and sold them. Stopped in a shop last year and saw about a dozen classics on the rack. I quickly searched them and sure enough the 17Rem and 223 sold the day he set them out.
Then I remembered I didn't like wood stocks anyway...
Remington sure knows how to kill the best of their line.

SOB! My dream is to own the Euro-trifecta of Classics: the 6.5x55, 7x57, and the 8mm Mausers

Here are 4 17's that will beat up all those already posted, they are also in the diminutive 222 Remington Magnum caliber...
