I would assume you are talking about a Rem mtn rifle.  They are IMO one of the nicer feeling rilfes you can buy lean towards a 280 if you can find one for bullet selection and the option of Improving the chamber realy makes it come to life.

Big fan of the .280 REM,, I have bought 3, 700's now one for each of my sons.. They are a fine cartrige.. 2 of the guns are the moutain rifles, not the SS, 1 has the detachable mag 1 not and one is a classic 700 manafactured in 1964. That gun is my middle son I found it at the Outdoorsman in Med Hat it was on consignment. I payed enough for it but it is worth it,, what a tack driver that gun is, a true gem. All the guns are mounted with Leupold, Riflemans.. They are fine guns indeed.

  The one made in 1964 does it say 7mm express?

Don't worry to much about that safety if it bothers you pacific tool and gauge makes a cap for them in purdy colours it bothers me I need 4 of them.  I think they are 45 bucks.

It will have a good trigger in it more adjustable.

Thanks for the help,I have tried to contact him on CGN.If possible could you pass on the info?PM me Thanks.
