    A quick refinish on a Remington 700 rifle, I also installed a new Timney trigger while I was at it

    The rifle looks great! You did a fine job on it.

    Nice job, I always liked the checkering pattern on that era rifle. I once had a heavy barrel 243 in that style stock, wish I still had it.

    Nice job. That has always been my favorite era of 700's. I still have one. That gun might like hornady 180 sp (older style) on top of a full load of powder. Mine will do 1 to 1 1\4 moa if I do mine.

    Very nicely done...I enjoyed the blog(s) very much.

    You friend should be proud to own that 700 and even more so now that you brought it back to "like new" condition.
