WTS M700 SS Mountain Guide 7mm-08, VX3 3.5-10x40, w/ reloading-live ammo

[huntem]

Up for sale is a sweet lightweight work horse. Remington model 700 Stainless Steel Mountain Guide chambered in 7mm-08 with a VX-3 3.5-10x40mm scope mounted in Talley one piece alloy rings. I purchased the rifle new direct from Gander Mtn in Washington, PA.

About the rifle:

• Low round count, I don't have an exact number but likely under 250-275 rounds
• As shown in the picture 6lb 9oz unloaded (I know the scale is close but certainly not certified)
• Leupold VX3 3.5-10x40mm with the CDS turret. I do have two turrets from a second 7mm-08 I owned with a longer barrel. They will be included with the sale but unlikely to match ballistics with this shorter barrel.
• Talley one piece alloy base/rings
• I had the rifle shipped in from a different store, upon inspection I had concerns with the scratches on the barrel. It was recrowned by a train gunsmith Steve Malyuk. This process did leave the small ring on the barrel, as shown.
• Accuracy has been consistent 1"-1.5" with factory ammo. It can be tricky to shoot as light as it is but has killed countless varmints, multiple deer and 3 black bears.
• Bore Scope of the rifle for sale

Include in the rifle package include:

• 500pcs of mixed once fired brass. I purchased most of this as once fired and have added to it between 3 different 7mm-08s
• 100pcs of new Win stamped brass that has been Full length sized, trimmed, chamfered. Its ready to be loaded
• RCBS Dies Sizing/Seating
• Stoney Point modified 7mm-08 case
• 40ct 120gr Nosler Ballistic Tips
• 150ct 140gr Nosler Ballistic Tips
• 99ct 150gr Nosler Ballistic Tips

If sold in person, I will include the following factory live ammo and holders. I will NOT ship live ammo

• 46 140gr Nosler Partition
• 20 149gr Barnes TSX
• 30 139gr SP Interlock
• 18 140gr Accutip
• 20 140gr (I believe) Hot Cor

I live in W. PA south of Pittsburgh and would be willing to meet within a reasonable distance. I will only ship to a valid FFL holder. If your FFL will not accept the rifle from a non-FFL holder, my FFL guy charges $100 (additional)

$1500 FIRM, No trades at this time. This is not a fire sale, I don't NEED to sell the rifle. Quite frankly, I know I'll regret this if it does sale. I am only selling to help fund another rifle for my retirement hunt in 2029.
