Well just covering the bases because I don't know your personal shooting habits. I assume this is a standard barrel Remington 700. On average you will get around 4-5 shots before the barrel begins to warm up which will cause flyers. Shoot around two shots Nd let the barrel cool and take another two....

I know a lot of people think that the heart shaped proof mark think that it means its a Hart barrel. That's completely false. I never heard anything about Hart barrels being factory installed on the. 40X 722 .22's. Hart is very proud of themselves and there work. I would imagine they would label it ...

From what I understand engravers from Remington back then were not suppose to sign there work. They would secretly and VERY small engrave there initials in a rock or a tree truck etc.... It will take a while with a magnify glass to find it if signed. This engraving holds no Remington characteristics.

It's definitely not factory, so I don't know how anyone would really know.

Looking for any magazine, newspaper, etc... advertisements that have anything to do with the Remington Model 12. The ads would date between 1909-1936. Could be gun case ads, Lyman ads, Matbles ads, Maxim ads and so on. Thanks for any help!

I probably have a near mint one at home. Let me know if your interested.

I felt it was reblued as well. At least the receiver. I just didn't want you to think I was picking at it.

Got ya! I found it. Yes the recoil pad is not original. It came with a hard plastic style butt plate. 14" leingth of pull. So if yours has not been cut you will need some long arms. The one I found was a members that sold at auction with an estimate of $2500-$3500. This one looks near mint.

I have some model 11's, and they all have some sort of engraving or I would say stamping of ducks or pheasants on them. I know none of them are higher grade. Sportmans grade maybe? I guess I could be learning something. What would make yours different? Is it choked different for trap? It's hard for ...

I know next to nothing about model 11's. I would expect a fancier gun if your labeling this as a C-grade?? At least some sort of engraving on the receiver??

Yes, you must have the later model 12. They changed it from a little piece of springsteel to a what is called the "ejector plunger". I do not know the screw size. Sorry! If you hit parts on the RSA homepage scroll down and see which dealers deal with the model 12. I'm sure someone on there...

If you can post some pictures it would be a big help.

Is there a clear coat on the stock. Looks like its just stained?

Like I said its my opinion, but I would at least get a Leupold 6x18 40mm. That's if I was looking at 300yd average shots.

IMHO a 10 power scope isn't up to par for 300 yard precise shooting. My bench guns all have 36 power scopes and defiantly not illuminated red dots. Maybe I'm old fashion. If I was wanting to be serious I would leave it alone if there are no problems. Invest in a higher powered fine cross hair scope....
