I have a rem 700 222 rem. serial #138061 , barrel stamp29 m C., alloy checkered butt plate,the top of the rear action is notched , unlike any 700 I have seen. The blueing is perfect and shiny but the floor plate and trigger guard are a beautiful matte color ,and the safety has a larger more rectangle shaped knob on it than the 700s I am familiar with. It has a b&l balvar 8a scope on it . The scope has no adjustments on it, adj. are made via the bases. This is pretty funky.The scope is crystal clear and the whole unit is like brand new.Any guesses on d.o.b and value. Either i start loading 222 and shoot the heck out of it or sell and buy something else. I am covered up with 22 cal. , but this one intrigues me.
