Rem 700 sps stainless

[adam204]

Hi all.

Iv'e been looking at a new rem700 sps stainless in .243 today, however despite it being brand new ( it was still in its box) I could see a very small ring of rusty looking deposits at the junction where the barrel meets the action recoil lug.

I was wondering if anyone knows if the action is stainless or is it only the barrel?

I have looked on the net but can't seem to find the answer i want!!!

Thanks in advance,

Adam.

if its a std factory stick i doubt for the price the action will be stainless maybe not even the bbl,the more knowlegable will let us know,

on a personal note i would look for a good second hand one in a tikka-sako-cz etc.i just dont have the craving for remmys any more.

Cheers Garyw, I know this sounds a bit sad but I feel like a rem so I can say I have had one at some point in my shooting life!! lol

However I am tempted towards the Ruger hawkeye all weather, but I have to say if Steyr did their classic in a stainless action and barrel and a good looking synthetic stock I would buy one asap!

Have a sps 243 stainless, tiny bit of rust comes and goes just the same as on my howa stainless or my T3 stainless.

Stainless doesn't mean it won't rust at all.

I'm sure the remmy action is stainless.

If you have a patriotic bone in your body, NEVER buy a Steyr:
