I am new here as this is my first post here, but have been active on other firearms forums for quite some time. either way I recently acquired a US marked Remington 700 from the estate sale of a retired air force Colonel who served in WW2 Korea and Vietnam. The rifle is a 7 digit gun marked 7.62 nato on the barrel along with uds inspection mark heart on the left side of shank and rep keyhole and triangle on right side.
the bolt is electro penciled serialized the the gun

the bipod is a harris light weight 1a that appears to be consistent with the vietnam offerings
unfortunately i am missing the original stock and scope base. I believe this to be a real m40 rifle given the rest of his collection that we acquired along with it. Any information about value and history would be great thank you!!!
