Though I have been registered on here for quite a few months, this is my first classified post. This could be a red flag, but I am also a close personal friend of a long time member here, @cash_tx and who has seen and examined this rifle personally.
I purchased this rifle from a friend who needed money for cataract surgery. It is not the type of rifle I typically hunt with, so I decided to let it find a new home with someone who will appreciate its beauty and quality.
According to the serial number this Remington 700 action was manufactured in 1968. Since it has a custom barrel, it doesn't have the 2 digit barrel code. Knowing who originally owned the rifle, the time stamp would make sense. It is stainless and smooth as butter as a custom build should be. The trigger has had a trigger job and pulls at a crisp 1lb 12 ounces. The barrel and rifle were built by a custom gunsmith in Odessa, TX named Cecil Tucker. Cecil was a renowned benchrest and long range shooter. The scope is a Nikon 4-12x50 on Burris base and rings, which is pretty typical of rifles from this era.. Fajen is on the recoil pad, so it is a Fajen custom thumb hole laminate stock.
Thus far I have discovered no flaws in this rifle. There are no scratches on the stock, barrel, or action. The barrel does not appear to have had many rounds through it. The lands and grooves do not appear to show any wear.
I have probably equivalent of 3 boxes of shells, looks like one is factory, others maybe reloads. I do have the reloading dope that was in one of the boxes of shells.
I am asking $2,000.00 plus shipping to FFL dealer, for this primo custom rifle. I am in the North Dallas, Texas area. I can meet for a face to face and examination of rifle.
I will accept cash, cashiers check, or Zelle. I can take a credit card through my business but require a 3% up-charge.
