M ROBSON Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 If it's in "as new" condition then it is a very good price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

il cacciatore Posted September 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Cheers folks. I need to go and look at it, Ill go up tomorrow since I'm going that road and if I like it then Ill put a deposit down on it. I had put a deposit down on a very neat Anschutz 525 with no marks on it at all apart from a very small bump that'll iron out nicely, I asked him to take something off it and he looked mad and said that he prices to sell and doesnt artifically raise the price to get it knocked back down again. So I'm scared to ask him. :( I read something that the Remington Model 700 rifles have a bad trigger mechanism? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pushkin Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Tell him you are happy to offer £275 and that the offer lasts for a week. At the end of the week let him take you up to £290. If he doesn't go for it - let it go - there are a lot more out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodeer Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Worth every penny if as described. Don't be a tight ***! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilishdave Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 The 700s trigger is ok if you adjust it properly it can be quite crisp follow the instructions here http://www.quarterbore.com/library/article...700trigger.html I have my standard trigger down to a crisp safe 1.75lbs And vast here for any more Remington 700 info http://r7l.7.forumer.com/index.php To answer your question if it is as new it is a steal. I would get any gunsmith to accept a return if it doesn’t shoot straight. A rifle that has been heavily used by a conscientious keeper might look good but the barrel may be shot out. It should group within 1.5inch @ 100m no problems without any fettling Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems cheap to me :( ..........the scope sounds like one of world class jobbies and if it is take it from me as someone who had one ,they are utter s**te and £95 brand new Basically as mentioned previously you could do with knowing a little history about it or at least have a bit of knowledge with knowing what to look for as it could have only been used on a range and had countless thousands of rounds put down it . Best of luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il cacciatore Posted September 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 Cheers, Ill ask him what was the reason for the sale. Thanks for that link dave, could be useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il cacciatore Posted September 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2006 I put a deposit down on it! Its BRAND new, its NEVER been fired. A guy bought it in the spring of this year new and moved house down to Lincoln after getting married where he had nowhere to use it and so had flogged it. Its the synthetic stock version which I like - Itll be mostly used for foxes and the occasional roe. There are no marks on it at all - It looks like its came out of a box. Well chuffed. The tasco scope is quite old but basically its was just sold with the gun for no extra expense. Ill be taking it off and fitting a becar berlin to it and putting the Tasco on the Anschutz. The gun comes with a shop warrenty. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlin.45 Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Jammy sod Got yourself a bargain it seems ,Congratulations If it is the old Jap made Tasco World Class/Series then I had one in something like 4-32x44 for many years. They were actually very good and streets ahead of the current Tasco product. But if it's not then 'Bay it. But as you are fitting a Pecar the................... n Bargain rifle then? What was the 'haggle down' price or are you going to keep stumm? Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il cacciatore Posted September 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Interesting point about the Tasco. I'm not sure of it at all, was mainly interested in the rifle itself but maybe it is one of the good ones? I'll need to look at it closer when I get my FAC through. As for the price, the guy wouldnt take a penny off it... Though I think its well priced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
