I had been looking for a stainless Remington 700 in a left handed action but wasn't having much luck. Gunbroker had the occasional LSS but I couldn't seem to snag one.
Then this popped up and had precious little information. The LSS was the laminate stock and this clearly wasn't laminate. It had a buy it now price which was lower than what the LSS LH 700s had been going for. I bought it.
When I got it I couldn't tell it had actually been fired. Nor could I tell exactly what it was. I contacted Remington and they said it was a Remington Mountain Rifle with Kevlar stock, 700 KS manufactured in 2002. I had long wanted a Rem Mountain Rifle but didn't know they made them in left hand.
The thing I did not like about it was that the bolt had that Remlock protrusion that was in the way of my thumb. That could get painful, so I replaced it with a Holland Shooter’s Supply bolt shroud assembly.
Now I’m working up loads. I just loaded a batch of 20 30-06 with 55 grains 4350, 150 grain round nose Sierras.
I've read that they used McMillan stocks. I also read they used Brown Precision.
And some people dislike the blind mag. I like the blind mag. But that's just me.
Anyhoo..
