FS: Remington 700 Classic in 270-308 Wildcat - 08/11/11
I have a .270-308 Remington 700 Classic early �80�s model for sale. I bought this locally from a guy off Gunbroker. It is basically a 700 Classic in .243 that was rebarrled from a barrel taken off a .270 Remington 700 Classic.
Here is the story. The guy I bought this from is the son of the gentleman that put this rifle together. The gentleman wanted a 338-06. He ordered a brand new 700 Classic in 270. He had the 270 factory 700 Classic barrel taken off and a custom .338 barrel installed to get his 338-06. He then took that .270 barrel and had that installed on his 700 Classic in .243 to get the 270-308.
Here are the particulars on the rifle; it has the standard 700 Classic stock and barrel contour and blued finish. It is a 1980�s vintage. The barreled action has been bedded and the barrel floated. The barrel has been shortened to 21.5� and the muzzle was recrowned. The trigger has been adjusted and it breaks very clean and crisp. As pictured with the bases & rings the rifle weighs 6 lbs. 14.6 ozs. I was told who the gunsmith was that did this work on the rifle but I can not remember his name. I do remember the son said he has passed away some years ago and was from VA.
This rifle is in great shape and may be a lights out shooter. It seems put together extremely well. The son never shot it and he said his Dad killed a few deer with it but never shot it that much as his Dad preferred his 338-06. I never shot the rifle at all.
I comes with the group D RCBS die set and some load notes I got when I bough this rifle and Leupold bases & rings.
I hate to move this one with out every trying to see what it will do at the range but with career time constraints and having 3 girls I just do not have the time to devote to working up loads and experimenting.
Here are some photos:
