Bored so decided to go to my favorite local gun shop to see what they had, shelves were pretty bare, due to the times they are having a hard time getting any firearms.
I spied one lonely used rifle sitting in the rack, took a look at it and turned out to be a Remington 700 Police .308 26" barrel with a very nice Leupold VariXIII 6.5- 20 Long Range sitting on it and a Harris bipod, has parkerized finish and a HS Precision stock with the aluminum bedding block. Seemed to be a reasonable price considering the cost of the scope so whipped out the credit card.
Got it home and checked barrel codes and Leupold date codes, both the rifle and scope date from 2003. Remington did sell complete packages but the scope was usually a Leupold 10X. Reticle is just a simple mil dot.
Really was just looking for a cheap 700 to use the action for a custom build but looks like will need to see how this thing shoots first.
Sorry for poor pics, lousy day for pics.
