Dicks Sporting Goods Remmy 700 $449.00 ????

[1holeaddict]

Dicks Sporting Goods is offering Remington Model 700 Varmint with camo ventilated stocks, X mark pro trigger, Heavy barrel, and a scope for $499 - a $50 rebate = $449.00. Just wondering if there is something that has been cheapened up on the action or is it the same 700 action on their high end guns??

All the 700 actions are the same quality. Much better than the older ones.

I bought one of those Dick's 700ADL Varmints in .308 last August for $500. After the $50 rebate and selling the crappy Chinese scope it came with for $50, I had a $400 hvy barreled .308. I was going to rebarrel it 6.5x47 Lapua or .260 Rem, but the .308 shoots so well I have kept it.

I put a nice Leupold scope on it, put it in a B&C Medalist stock, and added a Jewell trigger. I feed it Varget and 168 SMK's and it is very accurate. I always shoot it off a Harris bipod and it consistently puts three shots into little cloverleafs at 100. A couple weeks ago it put 5 shots under 1.25" at 300. The rifle has been a fun project and shoots better than a lot of much more expensive rifles I have seen.

I still have a Shilen .264 1:8 barrel waiting to go on the action, but I guess I'll wait 'til the .308 wears out...

Wow thats great. My local gun shops hates when Dicks runs this special. They cant sell a single new or used Remmy.

That's it. If you get a trigger, a stock, and a skim bed.... most of the factory Rem 700s will shoot pretty good.

We've gone through 5 new Rem 700s in the last 12 months, and none of them have been dogs. I have a box full of Xmark Pro triggers... never been fired.

This thread should be called, Dick's Sporting Goods Donor Action sale! I have been thinking about grabbing one to toss in the corner for a rainy day.

Acadamy sports sells 700 rifles for the 350-450 range depending on caliber and if it is a long or short action.

I've also noticed that if you're willing to wait, usually once a year, that Dicks have a better sale for $399 after the $50 rebate. The $449 is their normal sale on this rifle. I bought one last year in 22-250 and it's a great shooter in stock configuration.
