Also a 1974 rifle, this one from March (AY).

The above picture of the a correctly marked rifle serials some 40,000+/- after these two I have, though put together between.

Re: Left Hand Model 700 vs. Model 700LH

Thank you for your reply. I didn't notice the difference between my rifle and other left handed models until well after I bought it.

Re: Left Hand Model 700 vs. Model 700LH

Thank you for your reply. The second picture is not a direct comparison, but only an example (as stated). All other left handed 700's I have seen, regardless of vintage, have been marked in the manner of the second picture. If a closer-in-vintage comparison is needed, let me try again. This is my ri...

Left Hand Model 700 vs. Model 700LH

Hello, all, first post here. I have a left handed Model 700 in .30/06, OY barrel code (July '74, so early for a left handed 700). However, the receiver is marked "Remington" over "Model 700". I think this may just be an error, in that the incorrect die was used to mark this recei...
