Here’s another neat find 700 SA 243 Looks like a Douglas barrel, the gunsmith is about an hour from Douglas and it looks right for one of theirs 24” and tapers up quickly from the muzzle HS Precision aluminum pillar bedded stock Factory trigger is tuned below 2lbs Had a cheap Konus scope, threw a spare Leupold on it I had in the safe, looks much better now Don’t think I got hurt at $300....

If you paid $300 I wonder how much the pawn shop gave the original owner? $150? "I, however, place economy among the first and most important republican virtues, and public debt as the greatest of the dangers to be feared." Thomas Jefferson | |||

Wait, what? |
Nice grab. I love pawn shops that live and die by the blue book. I barely frequent the educated shops, except for specialty collector guns. “Remember to get vaccinated or a vaccinated person might get sick from a virus they got vaccinated against because you’re not vaccinated.” - author unknown | |||

I thought Douglas marked all their barrels. | |||

Only “front door” barrels fitted by Douglas are marked If you know someone there you can get a barrel fitted, but it won’t be stamped If it was sold to a gunsmith , the Case of my rifle I think, it won’t be marked either The gunsmith will stamp it at their shop The bottom of the barrel by the action will have initials stamped there sometimes as well I quit school in elementary because of recess.......too many games --Riff Raff-- | |||

Sweet find. I have Rem 700 in .223 and .308. Excellent shooters. Good luck with your new toys. | |||

I knew the X marking indicated Douglas fit barrels, but I thought all their barrels had a marking (even if on the bottom) showing they were made by Douglass. But again I "thought". Evidently I'm wrong. | |||

Sweet, Id buy that for 300 bucks... | |||

You may be right, I think the xx is the premium air gauges barrel, and that’s all they use when fitting in house, and I think they sell retail marked barrels to like midway or brownells, so those would be marked Heck, I had a ss 10/22 barrel from there one time I quit school in elementary because of recess.......too many games --Riff Raff-- | |||
