700 Mountain riifle, Old or new model?

TWalker

I have a Model 700 Mountain rifle in .270 caliber with the floorplate like a BDL. I need a new black forend tip for the stock. Numrich Arms has them, but only for the "new" model. How can I tell if mine is the "Old" or "New" model? Thanks for any help.

Newer model Laminated Stock Stainless

Older model Walnut Stock blued

Thanks. Mine is the older model. Guess I'll try Remington or make one myself. White would look different but then I'd have to make a gripcap, too. Wish I had a piece of ivory.

Try the white holly wood.

Check out this site. Holly wood looks like ivory when finished.
Makes great grips.
