I need info i cannot find on the Remington site
The local W-M is about to stop carrying guns. They have a gun (I have not had it out of their display) that the tag says is a 700 Ri in 270 cal. I assumed Remington since it said 700 and it is blued steel with iron sights and a black synthetic stock. The stock has regular checkering on it not the outlined looking checkering seen on some. it is on close out for $299. What would a 700 Ri be? Thanks for any help.

I suspect that Ri is short for "rifle".....folks at a lot of WMs don't really have a clue as to waht they're selling.

At $299 it's likely a bargain for sure.

Ask to see it....it's stanmed Remington on the action somewhere.

I went back to W-M and it was a 700 ADL per the paperwork on the box from the back room. It just said 700 on the gun but it had no floor plate as was indicated by ho. I did buy it.
Thanks for the information. I really had not paid much attention to Remington products lately.
