221 Fireball Single Shot

[Pahoghunter]

There is a Remington 700 in .221 on GB and listed as a single shot, I can't find any information on this, any one have one of these or know about them?

XR-100 maybe?

Looks to me like a 700LVSF. Stocks were supplied by Bell and Carlson, and the recoil pad by Limbsaver. There was a problem with some of the pads, they became very gummy. Limbsaver replaced a gummy pad on a stock I had at no cost. They were repeaters. Picture #6 looks like a single shot follower was glued in this one.

Often wondered how the 2002 model classic shot, was it one of the rem 700s that had all sorts of problems? off centre chamber ets

I am with John Henry's eye of opinion on that rifle! It is an LVSF, but why the thing was converted to SS, is beyond me! I shot all of the LVSFs as single-shot to save brass and never had a problem that would make me convert the mag-feed. Guess it is in the perception of operation. I had all the chamberings offered in the LVSF line except the 243 Win. and they all shot very well. Loved the 17 Rem and 221 the most! I have read of problems with the model but all were shooters for me. I don't understand how Remington makes their decisions on keeping and axing rifles and cartridges, but the LVSFs were one model that I REALLY liked!

When were they made, $700 sounds a little steep? Do you have any idea what trigger they had? thanks Bob

Single shot follower would be my guess as well, I sold one similar to that to a board member here.

Did yours shoot good. Bob

I haven't looked at the listing, but they are bringing ALL the money lately.

The couple I have had have both been shooters. I even wore the barrel out of a 17 Rem. I think it was crap to start with, but shot extremely well for a while, despite the barrel...looking at it through a scope later, you would wonder how it could have been a shooter early on???

XMark is the trigger I believe.

Shot well for me, I don't believe John Dunham had any issues with it either.
