Great info, thank you. I'm new to this forum. I'm a retired tool & die maker with a hobby machine shop, no cnc stuff, just the basics.
I'll pick up the Rem 700 today. It has an interesting history: It was smuggled into, and out of, Russia, as a movie prop to use in the filming of a story about bears back in the late '60's. According to the serial # it was made in April 1968. It is pristine. Maybe I should keep this as a collector piece, or just go ahead and enjoy it?
