Remington 700 Serial# 181XXX: When made?

[GunNut]

Can anyone tell me when my Remington 700 in 30-06 was made? The serial number is 181XXX?

Thanks,
Steve

Is there a 2 letter date code on the barrel? It should be on the left side of the barrel

Yep, XM. Finally figured out it is December 1965.

Six years older than me.
