Nimrod308M700- What Have I got?
I picked up a 700 in 7-08 this weekend at a gun show. It has a 22" barrel that looks like a Mountain Rifle contour, the finish is satin blue, not matte and the stock is black synthetic but not like an SPS. It's the same stock as on my Titanium .260 with a blind magazine. Seems like a nice stock. I don't know what model this is, it doesn't have the lock on the bolt. What is it??
Thanks.

matt salmPossibly one of the older 'RS' or 'KS' series rifles. They were light sporters built with Kevlar or Ryanite? stocks. They were sold as a step up from the average and commanded a bit more $.

Nimrod308Thanks for the replies. After some internet searching I failed to find any information so I called Remington. Manufactured in 2006 it's a "Mountain Rifle with the lightweight synthetic stock". The stock looks to be the exact stock as on my Titanium and they advertised it as Kevlar if I remember correctly. Hope to get to the range soon and see how she shoots.

Lamarthat's where the true value lies anyway.
it can be all fancy pants titanium and moon rock ore parts but if it shoots 4" groups at 50 yards it's just expensive wall art.
