[QUOTE="Shuuter, post: 974631, member: 82375"] In 2011, I acquired a Remington Model 700 LE in a 257 Roberts at a gun show in Pennsylvania for $1100.00. It was billed as am "unfired" 1982 model. The barrel, from the bolt area (where "REMINGTON" appears) to the end of the muzzle had been etched in oak leaf and acorn clusters. The stock on which it was mounted is also engraved with the same - in the forearm and butt (behind trigger guard) areas. It came with an accompanying unfinished wood stock said to be the original. To be sure. it is a pretty piece and would look good in anyone's cabinet. And so I am now trying to determine it's actual value. I am now not sure the accompanying stock is the original nor is the one the barrel is mounted on since I have come to understand that all 700 Model stocks are supposed to exhibit classic black on the barrel end an butt. This one has the classic checkering but nothing blacked and on the inside there appears the letter "B" (also on the serial number - for BDL I think) and the number "11" stamped in the wood. The B is in either black paint or ink. I would appreciate any help on determining the actual value of this piece. Thanks!
