Remington 700 value

Never been too keen on buying stuff from folks that can't even spell what they're selling - Sendero!
Ok, thanks. I have a cheaper Remington 700 in 6.5 but I didn’t know if this was a good enough deal to want to add to the collection
Stock looks more like a Bell and Carlson, not McMillan. (http://www.bellandcarlson.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_ID=1053)
McMillan doesn't seem to make any stock that looks like that, it could be an older model though, as I am less familiar with the older McMillans.

That explains why I couldn’t find it under McMillan stocks. That Bell and Carlson definitely looks like it.
Brake me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar!
I would pass on this.
Depending on the model of 700 that you have, you may be better served buying a chassis (KRG Bravo for example) and spending the rest of the money on a better scope/rings.
Definitely not sending any money. After everyone pointing out all the problems in the ad I’m definitely skeptical. Also trying to figure out how he’s shooting out to 1450 and doesn't know anything about his rifle?
Ok, thanks. It’s just the Remington 700 varmit with a Magpul Hunter stock. I am just getting started and figured there was no reason in dumping a bunch of money in a rifle that was way better than my skills.
What you have is all you really need, your initial move/gut feeling was correct. That stock/chassis is good enough. I would just recommend that you have the length of pull and check height adjusted correctly. You may have to purchase the separate spacers that the stock uses to do so. Plenty of resources online to see how to set that up if you haven't already.
Use that $1000 instead to upgrade your scope/rings (what do you currently have?), or on ammo/range time, or even on some training. Those will help you more than a new rifle.
I bought a Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 with Vortex Pro Series rings not too long ago. I don’t have $1000 burning a hole in my pocket I just figure if that was a really good deal it might be worth investing some money in but I’m glad I asked before I did.
