Remington 700 BDL in 300 RUM

[Kindo]

Very good condition. It is currently topped with a Leupold VXII 4-12x50 with Long Range Duplex reticle and Leupold mounts. I can sell just the rifle or the whole shebang. The rifle will come with approximately 4 or 5 boxes of ammunition as well as a bunch of brass. I intended to reload for this rifle so I did gather some brass in addition to factory ammo I've purchased; however, I did not ever buy any dies or reload for this rifle.

Not currently looking for trades unless it's a newer Kimber Montana.

Please note: I will not split up brass or ammunition separately.

Rifle, scope mounts, and ammunition are $725 obo

Whole setup as seen is $1050 obo.

Will ship on your dime or we can figure something out.

How would characterize the kick on this? I've got experience shooting heavy loads in 300 win mag and 45-70?

Chuck Hawks has a recoil spreadsheet on the Internets I believe. They wallop!

I have had a 700 BDL 300 RUM like this since they came out. I have only shot 180 Partions in it and I would say the recoil is about like a 300 Win and probably less than a 45 70 with 300 grain bullets. If you shoot magnums much the recoil is not really bad. Very accurate and bad ass long range elk rifle for the money here. I wouldn't sell mine.

chuck Hawks recoil tables say 180gr bullet @3230. 8.5# rifle is 32.8 pounds of recoil.

You have to shoot rifles like this a lot to get used to them. If you don't you are better off with a 308.

I've shot a couple of these rifles and they were very good shooters but they do produce some recoil.

I'm not sure how well you can see it, and I did fail to mention it, but there is a limbsaver pad installed. I couldn't believe how big of a difference it made and I would liken it to somewhere between a 30-06 and 300 win mag. It took most of the sharpness out of the recoil. I don't know how well it would hold up with extensive use but for getting it sighted in, it was pretty slick.

Put your rifle on Gunbroker. I just put the new Stocky's Ultra Light stock on mine and a Swaro Z5. It is a long range elk killing machine.

Rifle is sold. Will start new post for optic and 300 RUM ammo/components.
