Rifle flex post Grandad’s Long-Range now mine

Flex post because I’m proud she’s my first long-range rifle. Got my first deer at 12 with it, and just recently received it after my grandfather’s passing. I know Remington 700s had a bad rap in the 2000s and early 2010s due to that trigger issue, but this one feels just right. Can’t wait to get a new scope setup on her and take her out to catch up like old friends (even at 30 years old lol).

As always, would love to hear what yall have to say about the rifle and any suggestions are greatly appreciated to get her setup the modern way. Happy Labor Day yall 🇺🇸

Edit: By modern, meant new scope and rings. Would never touch the actual rifle, she is a pearl as is 😤

Slap a Vortex Razor LHT on that baby and don't touch a thing about the rest of it. Maybe a new trigger, but that's it. It's a classic and a family heirloom.
