How much would you pay???

[Hulions]

How much do you guys think a new in box remington Model 700 ML is worth. My local gun shop has one with the 24 inch barrel but they are still wanting $370 for it. I have read a lot of good things about this gun. What dou guys think about the price and the gun.

 

[Moose1]

The barrel is fron Bergara,but I don't like the stock which is empty inside so realy noisy in the wood when branches hit the stock.

no the barrel is not made by bergara. Although they do offer it as a custom build for the centerfire rem700

$370 IMO is way over priced for that rifle. They are accurate but $370 accurate.

You can get a Accura for $289.00.

 

[barkbuster]

blue or stainless? $370 sounds like about the same price the stainless model sold for when they first came out. i paid $289 for my blue model that i bought new years ago. as far as the hollow stock goes, i removed the rubber recoil pad and filled the stock with spray foam insulation. this took cars of the hollow sound without adding weight.

 

[derfhunter]

what caliber, ss or blued, 3 way ignition or #11 cap, black synthetic or camo

You can get a Accura for $289.00.

Dont forget about the SS / QR breech plug Optima for $249 I honestly think its probably one of the best deals on the market right now.

 

[Hulions]

It is a stainless with the #11 cap. I have other BP guns just was thinking about a 700 Ml to tinker with. I thought about putting a 209 conversion kit on it and a walnut stock. Just wanted to see if it was worth the price and what comments you had about the gun.

Oh yea, it's a 50 caliber.

 

[derfhunter]

I think 300 would be plenty. The conversion kits are around 55.00 and you will still have the blow back.

Hulion - not unusual to ask a specific question and have replies for other rifles that have nothing to your question.

Course you know I think the M700ml is probably one of the best old muzzleloaders built. They are accurate, durable and great to hunt with...

$370 even though new is a bit to stiff....

You can pick up really good used ones for $250 online - although you will not find many 24" or 45 cals on line.

They are Douglas Barrels on REM 70ML.
$370 is alot but it all depends on how bad you are some else wants it and is willing to pay.I love my REM 700 ML and while i do love it,i would not give that much for it and as some one already posted it.The 209 conversion Kit alone will cost you $55.00.
$300.00 is a fair price for one with the #11 cap type gun.
PS: i did not give but $210.00 for my REM 700ML 50 cal Stanless off of GunBrokers.com about 2 years ago and it was just like new.Not a Hair out of place on it are in it,LOL

Personally i wouldnt offer over $300 but it would make a nice base for a semi custom.... considering a few of the newer mods available.

Sabotloaders conversion is super sweet and if they made them like his back then....i would have bought one....that shotshell hull still makes my chuckle. So simple cheap and effective. :yeah:

The new total ML conversion for Rem700 centerfires looks like the bomb.

GM54-120

Is that a GOOD bomb or a BAD bomb????

It looks like a good one. At least the pics ive seen.

There is one For Sale in the Classified Section. I still like the looks of this ML as I am a Remington 700 guy. I wish the blowback was not so bad or I would buy one.

believe me the blowback is HORRIBLE i had one and sold it ..cleaning it was also a pain in the butt ..too many parts to remove for a good cleaning. i also ruined the bottom of my scope [toasted] from the blowback ........BUT it was very accurate ...

700

FG what gun is that again?

 

[greatbasin]

I had one shot for awhile...it was too heavy and a PITA to clean.

Not anymore the Canadian coversion solved most of the blow back problem... The Remington system was terribly dirty....

Here is another conversion I am working on...
