oooook.. I bought a :

Remington 700pss in 308 win
w/ LEUPOLD VARI-X II 6X18x40 and rings
w/ Harris Bi-Pod
w/ two factory mags

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewIt ... =273788279

I bought this for $1125 and the last $100 was cause I am not going to lose to 25 bucks lol
Though Does this seem like a good deal..

I figured:

Used Rifle = 500-700
Used Scope = 300-350
Bi-Pod = 60-100
Rings = 75-125

Nervous.. But been shopping around the internet for a month and seemed reasonable.. ( at $1000 ) then it jumped out of control after that lol

If the gun puts a smile on your face when you pull the trigger, then you made the right decision!

I'll cheers to that..

LMAO!!!

Nice looking rifle you got there.

Have you shot it yet? I think that you will be reall happy with it.

Hey quick question I see that the barrel is 26" what is the Twist rate on that 1:9, 1:10, 1:11, 1:12?

That's a very nice and well put-together shooting system that will last forever. And 308 WIN has always been at the top of my favorites list. I think you did well. Congratulations and "good shooting!"

lol nice
It is "expected" today, though my FFL guy says that if I am delayed ( always ) It can take up to 4 days to process.. So excited!

I'd love to hear what you think of it and how it works for you on the range.

I got jealous! So I looked around a little. Found an old review on the rifle. Says it is police sniper version (guess you knew that) with a varmint weight barrel, but with same stock as a military fully bedded M24 stock. It did fault the trigger as too heavy, but a trigger job or a drop in trigger would solve that if it has not already been done. A current offering 700 with the 28 in heavy barrel and super sniper type stock has a MSRP of over $2000 and a lower end 700 has a MSRP under $700. Sounds like the PSS was the "tactical" model 700 of it's day so that is a plus and if made today would have a MSRP for something closer to the high end than low.

The VX-II 6-8X40 with target turrets is listed on Midway USA for $550. Don't know which Harris Bipod you have but seems like most of them are close to $100 or more.

Make your own guess - but with only 50 rounds thru it, and if in excellent shape, I would says you got a good deal, so get ready to do some long shootin'.

Now I'm more jealous! Enjoy it to the fullest!

It has ARRIVED.. Now just need to do the paperwork and wait till probably thursday for delay..

I think I fell in love... I seen it.. It's in PERFECT Condition! I stayed away from seeing all the details because I want to save the moment till Thursday when I can pick it up

Glad to hear that you love it! ...and may you and your sniper rifle never be parted again... Better rest up for the honeymoon on Thursday!

Yeah.. Funny Funny..

It has arrrrrrrived..

Tomorrow will stretching it legs out.. Hopefully soon.. Will bring it out to 340 Defense and stretch it legs out more.. Been waiting 3 weeks for this.. ( Doing Happy Dance )

Remington loses a brownie point.. They didn't post the twist ratio on the barrel.. errrrr.. Though it has Ilion, NY as the manufacture.. So it's Custom Shop
