Remy 700P education

Hiders,

When someone says that a PSS .308 has a "pre Xmark trigger" and "no J lock" what does this mean in practical shooter terms? Are these good things or not?

Thanks for your help.

Means it has the original Remington tunable trigger and no Jlock on the bolt shroud that stupid thing that had the green handled j looking key to lock the bolt and make it inoperative.

Typically speaking these are good thing in the eye of the average beholder... The J-Lock is basically a POS, so if it doesn't have it then all the better.

Awesome guys!!! You rock!

One more thing(s): the gun has a "black M24ish type stock and is a BDL gun not the DM version"

I get the stock thing, but what of the BDL vs DM???

DM is magazine fed. Bdl is not.

Re: Remy 700P education

Yeah, what he said.. If you are talking factory stuff, pick the BDL over the DBM anyway... the thing I don't like about the factory Remmy DBM is that the stock has to be modified for it, and if it already is, it is an eye-sore when putting different bottom metal in it...

Always replace any Rem factory scrap metal with at least Williams steel bottom metal.

Also, once a DBM, always a DBM because the feed rails are non-existent.

Hi Scott,

and If I remember correctly- the 700P
being "police" never had the dreaded J lock
at least mine doesn't- and its 2008 production

Re: Remy 700P education

Ok, guys, last question, I promise...

What's a new in the box gun with these features worth? On average. Let me put it this way for simplicity. Is the gun worth $825??

You've been great. I've learned more in 5 minutes than an hour of web surfing could provide.

Thanks again!

Re: Remy 700P education

I paid 899.00 nib- if its pre x mark its what 2006-07??
If its NIB-I'd pay that...

YMMV,

Re: Remy 700P education

I think that is a good price if NIB, they are somewhat hard to find right now...

Not a bad price for NIB, M700P
