I have one of the first Remington 700 with no serial number, what would be a good sabot to shoot in it? and what could I ask for a price to sell it?
I was told that the twist was 1.60 by Lyman.Do a gunbroker search for previous sold same rifle get a decent idea from that, alot depends on condition if any pitting/rust in barrel then value goes down by at least 50 percent or more. The ones I had mid 1990s all shot 240-300 gr XTPs with mmp sabots and either 100 gr pyrodex pellets or 85-100 gr of pyrodex rs.. a guy I worked with had one back in early -mid 90s that would shoot one hole groups at 80 yds with 240 gr stp/green sabot and 100 gr pyrodex pellets..
1:60 twist??? I would have never thought that. Thats a percussion sidelock round ball twist, I doubt that thats what it is in that early 700ML inline. I would think its a 1:28, but I could be wrong.I was told that the twist was 1.60 by Lyman.
You may be right, my BP rifle is a percussion.WOW! A 1:

It does not have a serial number the early model did not use any.You may be right, my BP rifle is a percussion.
I just did a little searching & what I found was even the old/orig 700Ml's with 24" & 26" barrels & #11 cap nipples were all 1:28 twist rate. There are several real experts on these guns in the group, hopefully one of them will chime in & give you some info you can rely on being 100% correct.It does not have a serial number the early model did not use any.

Thanks for the confirmation billyboyCorrect, .45, .50 & .54 Calibers were All 1:28 Twist & most were Good Quality ER Shaw Barrels.
