Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Remington Classic in 350 Rem Mag

I just sold this...







It shot 100 yards just over an inch, and 200 yards @ 2 5/8".

62gr 4064 would push the Speer 180 flat point at an average of 2606 fps. out of a 14" bbl.


Shot a lot of deer with it, but they opened up our county to rifle a few years ago, so I traded it in for a Crossbow.


It was a hell of a hand full of thunder but it got the job done in Spades !!


Here's some bullet info...

I'm not a big fan of recoil but I can tell you it's a pussy cat.
I'd rather shoot it than a lightish 300 Win mag.

My M70 stainless classic kicks more than my Rem 660 350 mag (factory load). My 660 seems to roll me more than jab me.

Thanks for the photos Bob. That MRC offering looks like a very neat package.

My two 350's and little brother 35Rem. [img:center][/img]

Color me whatever, but I really like the triplets !!!

Nice guns...

Very nice!!! Dad used to bring home some Remington and Winchester catalogs. I thought the magnum laminate stocks were the cat's azz! When I found my 660 350mag. I jumped on it.

How much are the Mod. 600/.350's going for now. I have all the reloading stuff from when I had that XP100R, I'm getting an itch for a rifle !!

In good condition $700 and up seems the norm for a magnum.

2700 with a 250 gr is impressive!
The 30-06 boys are lucky to get that with a 180 gr from a 22 inch barrel.

I looked under my bed, and behind the dresser, and I ain't finding one!!
Good enough reason for me.
It wouldn't replace my .444 as my master blaster, but for some reason one of those .600's needs to call my house "Home". !!
I may take a trip to the LGS tomorrow and nose around some.

2700fps with 250s is getting into 358Norma Mag speeds. Nice!

I like those 250gr Speers. They have been great shooters in almost any 35cal I've owned.

...and up...I think is the condition now. A nice clean 600 will usually break $900 on GunBroker. The more marks on the stock, cracks in the rib, warped triggerguard or rust the price goes down from there.

If you find a nice one for under $800 grab it...great to hunt with and you won't loose anything on it if you sell.

Ought to be impressive on the back end too; but a guy named whelennut probably knows that.

Holy Socks, finding these is working out to be a chore !!

I went to the biggest LGS in Buffalo where they sell a lot of used guns. I like the store, and buy there as often as I can, over Cabelas, just because they are a local gun store. I usually get very good service.

First salesman says: "Remington made a 600??"

ME: Yes, they made a 600, a 660, and 673. I'm looking for any one in .350 RM.

Him: look in his eyes...

Him to 2nd salesman:.... Ever heard of a Remington 600 ?

2nd: Yup, they made them before the 700, but then stopped production when the 700 came out.

ME Thinking: WOW, I think I'm on the wrong side of this counter..

Well you can see where that went, he wouldn't even bother looking in the back room...

Went to Cabelas... I swear to God, the guy taking care of me started swearing at another salesman. He didn't use the "F" word, but about every other that I could think of, right in front of 6 or 7 of us customers in the Gun Library. Wow, it got HOT in there in about 2 seconds, the other 2 salesmen that happen to be in the room kept trying to calm him down, but it wasn't 'till I patted him on the back (I kid you not), and said, "Lets just look for my gun, OK?" he floated down from the ceiling...

Cabelas did not have Any Remington in .350 that he could find in all their libraries in all their stores...

Looked on the net, and found out why the stores don't have any, The friggin' things must be made of GOLD !!

There was one that looked like it was dropped on it's barrel end, and it's up to $900.00

Others are running $1100 to $1900.00 !!

I'm gonna keep lookin' though, hope I can avoid getting my ass kicked over this obviously insulting question.. "Got any Remingtons in .350mag. ?"

You see this one...

As to the 673....try to find one to handle before you buy... They are heavy and not even as well balanced as the 700 Classic...

This is also in nice condition. Most in this condition have recently sold for $1050+..

I'll keep my eye on both of them.
Thanks,
Bill

My 350RM 700 Classic is just about the most consistently accurate rifle I've ever used. Will shoot MOA or better with Rem 200 PSPCL, 225 Nosler Partition and Rem 250 gr PSPCL loads. Have pulled it out of the safe after sitting for five or ten years and it still shoots to where sighted in. Bought it new in spring of 1986 when I found out the Army was sending me to Alaska for a couple of years. Too good of a rifle to let go. I say buy it if you find one.

It goes on...

Interesting...

In my quest to purchase a .350 mag, I decided to just order a New Model 7 Laminate stock as listed on the Remington web site. There is no posted information on the site that this is not a regular production gun...

http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/centerfire/model-seven/model-seven-laminate.aspx

I went to a different LGS (Well 50 miles away "Local") and tried to order the gun.
They could not find the gun available through their distributor.. ??

The store owner put in a call to their Remington rep. He told them that I'd have to buy the gun MYSELF from the Remington "Custom Shop", and then they would ship it to the gun shop, and they would transfer it to me...

What the hell is that about, No real profit for the LGS ???

I went home and could not find any way to order it on their web site, so I contacted Remington through their E-Mail, and received this..

"Thank you for contacting Remington! The Remington Model 7 in .350 Remington is a custom chambering that we no longer produce as a production rifle. Dakota Arms now handles all of our custom shop builds. You will need to contact Dakota Arms at 605-347-4686 to be transferred to the Custom Shop. At that point, you will need to leave a detailed message regarding the firearm you are requesting with your name and daytime phone number. The Custom Shop staff will research your request and then return your call."


Now the first thing I want to say, is that I never before had any dealings with Dakota Arms. The woman that answered the phone was Extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. She was very easy to deal with.

Cutting to the chase, she told me that the Model 7 Laminate was only available in a Mannlicher stock. I stated that I wanted a regular laminated stock as shown on the Remington site.
She then says, "Let's see here, the Mannlicher is aaaaa 3000..

I Said (Maybe a little louder than necessary) "AMERICAN DOLLARS ????"

Yes, she says, but if you want to change that, I'll have a sales rep call you to discuss the rifle YOU would like us to make...

YOW.. I can see that happening.... NOT !!

While searching for any .350 on line, "Dave in WV" messaged me about a Ruger at Gun Broker with a B.I.N. price of $729.00.

I hit the button and it's on it's way (Thanks Again Dave).

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=480888773


They got another Ruger up now with a B.I.N. price of $2350.00.

If ya hurry over there, ya might be able to snag that one !!

It's got to be worth it, it even has the super desirable "Flat Bolt"


Biggest surprise to me during this entire thing was that Remington can't even make their own Model 7's, and has to farm the work out. Causing their own dealers (our LGS's) to loose the profit from selling the gun !!
