I have a Remington 700 action I acquired awhile back. It was tucked away in the back of my safe and it didn't have a bolt. Well, thanks to this forum, i posted a wanted ad for a bolt and new one is on the way!! :) I'm soo excited, I get to have Longrifles, Inc build me out something cool with it, YAY!!!

Okay, onto my question now, The serial number starts with an F and has 7 digits after it. Unfortunately I dont have the barrel to accurately date it but Im curious if there is a way to get somewhat close or just get a better idea of what action I have... ie. the good era I hear about.

Can anyone chime in or send me a PM with some help.

I appreciate your attention to this, Thank You.
