Remington 700 Help

[Jahnny]

Dilemma! So I got this 7mm remmag barrel/action/trigger and I'm trying to find more details on it. When I try to go by first two numbers being RR it says it's like pre 1970.. that would be from the serial number. Then the stamp to the left, everything I read says two letters but in this case this is just a single "H". It's honestly just ****ing me off at this point .

I was going to take this and have it smithed to a 7mm PRC but lack of brass makes me not want to and just sell this and do a .338 Norma instead. No idea yet but more info on this package would help.

It's definitely not pre 1970. Looks like very recent production……..
I don't think their website takes into account Serial Numbers from about the last 10 years or so

Yea agree... not even pre 1990. Lol I just can't figure it out. Maybe that's it, too new.

See this doesn't make sense to me. First 2 numbers of serial are RR and that says 1946... But then if you go off barrel stamp H ... the newest year is 1997. It definitely looks newer than that.

Yep, that's confusing, try here http://guncollectionsonline.com/remingtonmodel700.htm
Also, there is a code near the end of the barrel and action is there one on your rifle?

Oh, wait I see the "H" ok... I'm back on earth.

I know I have a action I got new probably about 2019 that was a rr. I got it from Davidsons so it didn't sit forever in a gun shop

Interesting. It must be like the first guy said. Just so new they don't have a track anymore.

 

[akdad]

Sorry I just looked at pictures and that's definitely a late one.

 

[436]

So, it must be 1987 that's the last "H" marking and it looks pretty newish in the finish.

 

[Rhett Crider]

I bought a new Sendero in 2012, RR247--G, new action in 2017?, RR868--J, new SS Long Range in 2014?, RR393--A. RR series were also somewhat known for bolt/ handle timing issues. RR should fall in years 201? up to maybe bankruptcy.

Look for a 2 letter stamp like in this picture. IIRC the first is the month and the second letter is the year. CH would be April of 2013. Here is a list of codes that go through 2023. https://oldguns.net/sn_php/remdates.php

If it has the Xmark pro trigger it is definitely a later gun. I think they started putting these in around 2008 +-.
