R700 police model?

[grasshopperglock]

Lightening out now, and getting darq!

Then grab your Remington and get ready to walk around in the rain. I wanna see if it'll rust up. I sprayed mine with paint.

I don't think it'll happen. You're not getting rain. You're dreaming. Quit it.

Y'all crazy as a chicken snakes! It's now, ...raining!

 

[grasshopperglock]

Bull$hit. You're cut off. A Remington rifle must have fell into your head.

 

[Charlie]

I ain't cut off, just gettin' shorter as I get older!

I think a lot of the replies here to the OP are just folks repeating bullshit they've heard on the net. A buddy of mine bought a Remington police special from Cabelas 2 years ago, in .308, and the only thing he did to the rifle was to replace the factory trigger with a Timney aftermarket model. With his hand loads he can put 3 shots inside the size of a nickel, at 100 yards. I don't know what you "experts" on here think of that, but to me, that is a damn accurate rifle.

It isn't BS. A gunsmith on another forum accurized a 700 and found the factory receiver was 1/8th inch out if square.

Everybody's rifle will put 3 shots in 3/4". That is nothing to brag about these days. Of course most of them do it with all factory parts.

All my Remingtons are over 50 years old, are they outside of the time frame?

It's a Remington so it is inside the quality issues.

Already answered.

It's the internet, it must be true...

He posted pictures but yeah, believe what you want.

Don't get me wrong, everybody can put out shooters and duds. The pure volume almost guarantees it.

But I truly believe if the military had never used a (highly modified) 700 they wouldn't be on anybody's radar today.

"The military uses it so it must be the best" is one of the worst pieces of misinformation going.

Yeah, like "mil-spec", back in the day it meant basically sloppy tolerances, so the damn thing would run in mud, dirt and wet weather. I think it means the same damn thing today! But every asks: " Is it mil-spec? If not, I don't want it." LOL! That 700 you were talking about would be Mil-spec!

This is the camp I am in.

I was a poor boy, never got to go to camp. LOL!

Only Remington i would currently buy would be a 5R but anything else is a little iffy for me. Ive had much better luck with other companies. Just look around and see what you find. Worth the wait
