Remington 700 BDL in 300 RUM - Ultra Magnum

[azsugarbear]

Traded into this rifle several months back from the original owner. I already have a custom rifle in 300 RUM so this rifle needs to find a new home where it will be used. Don't let the camo paint fool you: this is a BDL model and not the lower end SPS model. It is chambered in 300 Remington Ultra Magnum - an absolute hammer for any North American big game.

 

The first owner claimed the rifle had less than 100 rounds down the tube. I had my gunsmith borescope the entire length of the barrel (especially the throat area) and we both believe the claim to be true. The throat shows only the faintest of fire cracking/checking lines, so there is a ton of life left in this barrel. The front lug area of the rifle appears to have been professionally bedded and a muzzle brake has been installed to tame the significant recoil generated by the 300 RUM. These two items alone will run almost $300 from any reputable gunsmith. Like all Remingtons, the trigger is atrocious. Either a trigger job or a swap-out would be the next item on my list for this rifle if I were to keep it. Even with the terrible trigger, I was still able to hold MOA with the two different loads that I tried.

 

The wooden BDL stock reportedly suffered some scarring while rubbing against some metal in the back seat of a truck during a hunt. The original owner painted the stock with what appears to be Krylon paint in a tiger stripe camo pattern.

 

Asking $625. Not looking for trades at this time. If interested, post or PM here on CWT. Or you can call or text me at 602-361-7191 with any questions you may have. This rifle has also been posted for sale on other forums/sites as well.
