Gun Watch Posted April 30, 2014 Report Share Posted April 30, 2014 Remington 700 - SPS - Varmint £475 .22-250 Rifle Private Seller Used - Very Good Condition Haddington, East Lothian Bolt Action Description Been in storage with an RFD for about 18 months. Very little use before then...carried more than shot. Barrel threaded - will need to check on the thread type as cannot remember which it is. This is the longer 26" barrel model. The bore needs a little work to polish out some old fouling; aside from this the gun would be an easy 9/10 for condition (one or two gunsafe/handling marks on the wide based/vented "Tupperware" factory stock); but most shooters ditch these stocks on purchase of an SPS for a more rigid option. Great fox rifle & also suitable for some of the smaller species of deer (where legal). This is the standard Rem. 700 Short Action, and being .22-250 it has the .308 bolt face; so may be an ideal base to use for a conversion into another caliber. Scope/rings/bases have already been promised to another buyer, so the rifle will come plain. NOTE: This rifle DOES have an X-Mark-Pro trigger: it IS also one of the serial number range that is due to have the free warranty repair done by Riflecraft; not had any instructions from them yet on when to send it in. IF I get word in the next few days I'll send it off, if not it'd down to buyers choice as to sending the gun off for the free upgrade or ditching the XMP & fitting an after-market trigger unit. No pics yet, I may be able to get some tomorrow when I'm next at the RFDs Current RRP on these is in the £700-£900 region, depending on whether the RFD has older stock or some of the newer RemingtonUK stock. As it is with an RFD, I can very quickly have this sent to your preferred RFD, for the price above. (This asking price is based on the current price of an un-barreled Rem 700 S/A receiver & bolt - which I have seen being offered for £500.) The seller of this gun doesn't appear to be a Pigeon Watch member, to contact them please use the details on Gun Watch.

saddler Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 No idea why it's not linking, but this is my gun. IF you want to read the corrected description you'll need to click on the above link to go to the main GunWatch page, as a few of the unknown details were checked & updated, plus the barrel cleaned up like new (bore just needed a little of the correct P~H cleaner to get the job done) Condition now also increased to an easy 9.5/10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saddler Posted May 31, 2014 Report Share Posted May 31, 2014 Price drop £450. If it doesn't sell at this price I'll be stripping it into components & keeping the receiver/bolt for a future project Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
