Author Topic: Where do you find out about "special run" rifles (Read 554 times)

In another post here someone has found a Rem 700 Mountain Rifle in 25-06, a special run. Someone responding has found Rem 673 in 243, special run.... Wal-Mart has laminated stocked Rem 700 ADLs from time to time, again, not in the Remington catalog....

I'm a non-standard kinda guy, I like something a little different, these would qualify as "a little different" to me but I never can find them in time, myself and the goofs at Wal-Mart can't tell/won't tell me what calibers the laminated ADL comes in...

Where do you see these or find out about them? Would a "good" dealer be privy to these and be able to order me one?

A good place to start would be the Davidson's and Lipsey's websites------a lot of times they have special runs made up.

My dealer knows I like Remingtons and Smith & Wessons so he lets me know. Smith is running a special run of 686's with a standard length barrel under lug and a 5 1/2 " barrel. Last year was a model 29 mountian gun 4". Your local gun shops not Walmart should know. Hope that helps. :wink: :wink: :wink:

You might also try the vendor web sites. (Doh!

It would be nice if it were that easy.... If you can find a 25-06 mountain rifle, a 243 model 673 or a laminated ADL on the Remington site you're doing better than me. While they do have the "new for 2003" guns listed there, it is no longer 2003.....

:wink:

Wpayne your dealer should know. The distributer lets him know and he tells me. But he knows what I like. You won't find it on a site.
