Remington 700 in 7-08.

If you want a bolt action rifle in that chambering, and it's in great shape, it's a good deal. Even if it's an ADL model.

[That scope with rings (used) is usually between $100 and $150. New it's $200 with rings and cover.]

Check on the 'crackle'.
Many composite stocks (including aftermarket) come with that pattern in the material. Good.
If it is a paint someone painted on, it might not be so good if the paint starts peeling off.
That would not be good in my opinion. Use your own good judgment.

Of course, the ultimate test is whether it shoots straight. You only know for sure if you shoot it.

Bad cerakote job? Maybe? It still sounds like a good deal. You could take some fingernail polish remover and try to see if it comes off. If it does, it is probably paint based. The 7mm08 is a awesome round.

Is the crackle finish on the stock or on the barrel and receiver?

$300 sounds like a heck of a good deal me if it's not in the gun metal!

I agree with ants, the crackle finish on the stock would lead me to suspect that it may actually be an aftermarket composite... Which usually start at about what they are asking for the rifle. Of course it could be a polymer stock with a textured home paint job. Something too check on if you go check it out again.

Sounds like a pretty good deal to me. Most 700s are good shooters out of the box. And the 700 action is one that you can build on in the future if you are so inclined. I say shoot it and see how it does.

And we'll need a range report of course ...

That's a 700 SPS. It's a factory textured stock. That gun new is $514 on Buds. The pic on Buds its kind of hard to see the stock. But trust me, that's the gun.

$350 for that gun and scope is a good deal.

And I just looked up the ADL, it looks the same with scope for $407. But it doesn't state if it's a Nikon or not. I suppose it's possible.

Those stocks are garbage but at that price I'd buy it. A bare Remington receiver is usually around 300 bucks.

That doesn't have a 'crackle' finish. SPS' comes with a black phosphated finish and a synthetic stock now. There are aftermarket stocks with it though.
"...a Walmart 700 ADL..." No ADL 7mm-08. No ADL's after 2004. I think the Wally World rifles are M783's. MSRP on those is $399.

I bought my two grandchildren (a boy and a girl) a youth Remington 700 in 7mm/08 when
they were little. They each killed an antelope, the boy killed a bear and both killed a
couple of deer. Then they moved on to bigger sized rifles. The 7mm/08 is a fine cartridge.
It's not fancy it just does what it's supposed to.

Remington still makes ADL's for Academy, Walmart and Cabela's so I'm sure they make them for other big retailers too. That sure looks like an SPS stock. I've seen new ADL's for sale with SPS stocks, I think it was at Academy.

Doesnt matter. If the scope works it's a good deal, it and the action alone are worth more than the asking price IMO.

Looks EXACTLY like mine in 270 purchased at Wllmart several years ago, $330 minus scope.
Same matte finish, same stock with pebble texture at the grip and fore end.
The bolt sounds rough when you run it up and down the receiver, and the hollow stock magnifies it.
But crummy stock and all, it drives tacks every day I shoot it. Heckuva bargain rifle.
In a chambering easy to shoot and not too expensive.

Like any used gun, inspect it carefully! If all is good, get it.

Yeah. I say good deal!

You will like it. 7mm-08 is an excellent round, great to reload for.

Have you checked the bolt release tab in the trigger well? If it has a dimple from a punch, it's good to go

Was it a Gander Mountain purchase. They have some pretty good deals on stuff right now.

I do alot of business with a pawn shop as well. You can get good deals, you just have to be patient.

Nice rifle! Glad you got it and sound happy with it!

If you get around to buying another, check out that TC Compass. I like mine
