Determining a Rem 700 Modle

[FEENIX]

I have a couple questions. I'm looking at a remington 700. Seller doesnt know much about it, and claims its stock from factory. It appears to have a medium contour barrel, dressed in what might be a hogue or similar stock. Ive tried looking up the serial number but have had no luck finding a anywhere to input it. I havent had hands on the weapon, just pictures. The SN is RR65029J. Any help would ve very much appreciated

The link posted is for Remington Ammunition and is part of Vista Outdoors. Remington Arms was bought by Roundhill Group. It intends to operate under RemArms. As of about 2 weeks ago only security would answer the phone.

Remington used letters starting in Nov 1968. My 2012 SA is a G as is my 2009. This is the first double letter I have seen but may designate a Magnum action.

Stainless models start with S, as I recall.

For what it is worth, here's what I found on my quick query regarding the RR in the S/N ...

[email protected] was responding with form letters as of two weeks ago. If the OP does get a response, I would like to see what it is.

Vista did not recieve anything from Ilion in the Bankruptcy Settlement other than Remington Trademarks. All intellectual property, patents, and records stayed with the plant. Roudhill has an agreement with Vista for the use of the trademarks.

I am not so sure about the RR. You might check the link below. This seems more plausable as I know of multiple post 2009 700's with single letter S/N. That said, the letter at the end may indicate a Custom Shop rifle.

Remington serial number question

I have two SA Remingtons both with RR serial numbers and one with E, one with C and one with no letter prefix. I read where the RR was a more desirable action. Is there something special about them? If I read it right, the RR was made in 1946??

Message: I am trying to find an extractor (P/N 14) for my 700 308. It is the rivet less version. None are available from normal parts sources and some list the part as "Discontinued". What is the status of this part going forward?

Since we're on the subject:
UMWA Press Release

No indication when contract negotiations will begin.

That's a grayboe stock. Agree. Most likely an awr.
