I was digging through some of my dad’s stuff and found something rather interesting, the remnants of the first rifle (Remington 700 .260) he and my grandpa bought me when I was 12, which was a pretty big deal for them back then.
When I was 16, I rolled my Jeep on the way to the deer stand the day before Thanksgiving. I was pretty banged up, but my rifle was in much worse shape (pictures below).
I had thought this rifle was lost, but after inspecting it, it appears that the action and barrel survived the accident (I will have this verified professionally before firing).
I’m looking to possibly rehab this rifle on a budget with take-off or stock parts that someone else might have upgraded from and give it to him as a gift on the 10 year anniversary of the accident, I think it’d mean the world to him.
Not sure what something like this would cost or what I all need, but please PM me if you have any useful information! Thanks!
