Remington 673

Has Remington dropped the Model 673? I was looking at one of their catalogs the other day and there was no Model 673.

Now the question. Were there not very many 673's chambered in the .243 Winchester? I don't think I have seen any on the auction side and when I go under model history on Remington's website and click on "673", it doesn't list the .243. Anybody have any insight or information on that?

Am I correct that the 673 is essentially a Remington Model 7? I need a two piece turn in scope mount base and presume anything for the 7 or 700 SA will fit?
The firing pin assembly uses Remington's "J Lock" and I want to replace it - do I replace it with a Remington 700 short action?
I'm not in love with the stock. If I want to replace it I'm again assuming a Rem 7 or 700 short action works?
The M673 was released in the .308 Win. so it's not a stretch for us to believe that they also did some in the .243 Win.
This is not definitive proof by any means but it is another reference to what may be the answer:
"Remington 673 .243 Win caliber rifle. Guide rifle in rare non-catalog .243 caliber. Has laminated stock and 22" Vent rib barrel. In excellent condition."
This website is notorious for the overuse of the terms 'rare' and 'limited production' in an attempt to justify inflated prices. However, in this situation, it might be more correct. I cannot corroborate their statement.

At any rate, you do have something that not everyone has, but as to collectability...it is supply and demand, the demand part being prominant.
