Christmas gun, with a story

[TexMax]

Guess I forgot to post this. For as long as I've been alive (coming up on 28 years) my Dad and Grandpa have had a pair of remington 700 .270's. I haven't narrowed it down to exactly when each of them were acquired or manuf. date. I just remember them always being around. I'm not really one to get attached to guns, i'll trade them out before i even shoot the thing if something else spikes my interest. But I do have a kind of core collection of rifles/shotguns that were given to me or hold some kind of meaning. This will be one of those, my own 700 .270. Had to one up them a little with the cdl. This one'll stay 'stock(ish)' besides probably a trigger and bed job and hopefully be the workhorse that theirs were (when appropriate). I'm kinda **** about scratches and such but i'm kinda looking forward to a couple of matching ones in this case.

Mine



Theirs. Obviously it will have to sport a leup vx3



Old Polaroid i found out at our place after i had graduated to dads big boy rifle.

Enjoy your new rifle my friend, it's a fine one.... Looking at the picture of all three rifles you can get an idea what yours will look like with the scope mounted, I had to take a second look, lol.

A Timney trigger and a Leupold scope go with model 700's like pockets on a shirt.

That one on the left is an adl deluxe with a replacement pad.

I have a 222 I bought from Blake & a rare carbine 222...both with notched receivers. Love those rigs
