Description

This lot features a Remington Model 700 bolt-action rifle configured with a custom or modified heavy profile stainless steel target barrel. The 25-inch stainless steel barrel displays visible circular machining marks and is uniquely equipped with four rectangular ports near the muzzle to mitigate recoil. While the barrel lacks caliber markings, internal bore measurements of approximately .213 inches combined with the Remington 700 short action are consistent with the .22-250 Remington chambering. The receiver features a polished blued finish and is fitted with a one-piece scope base and two mounting rings. The action is set in a gloss-finished Monte Carlo-style wood stock characterized by a raised cheekpiece, pressed checkering on the wrist and forend, and a black plastic forend tip. The buttstock is finished with a black plastic buttplate featuring a stylized Remington Arms Company monogram. Key markings include the manufacturer and model designation Remington MODEL 700 and the serial number C6768872 stamped on the left side of the receiver. The floorplate and trigger guard assembly show significant finish wear. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.


Condition report:

The rifle is in fair overall condition. The stainless steel barrel shows extensive surface scuffing, minor scratches, and small scattered spots of oxidation. The blued finish on the receiver remains largely intact, though the floorplate and trigger guard exhibit heavy finish wear and visible scratching. The wood stock has numerous scratches, dings, and impressions throughout, with more prominent finish wear located on the left side of the buttstock and forend. The bore is bright with strong rifling, and the bolt action appears to function correctly, though it has not been live-fire tested.
