Got a very good deal on this Remington Model 700 Long Range Rifle at the PX. I was out of state at an Active Army Post. Picked it up for $600.00 Did not have a muzzle brake. It has a 26" heavy contour barrelFinally found a good gunsmith to do the threading. Took it to the local shop that used his services. They mailed it off. UPS took out the trigger group on the action on the shipment back. It was insured so they have the replacement trigger on order. It should be here tomorrow. Has a Gen 2 Fat Bastard self-timing muzzle brake waiting for it. Plus there was no sales tax on it.
