Hi guys
I've got a 700 in 16 gauge manufactured in 1957 .It looks like it came out of the shop just last year 95% original tight as tight you really have to make an effot to open it 2 3/4" ejector DT 28" tubes .1/4 and 1/2 chokes and I love shooting it.

Doug I have the 1967 catalogue which covers the 700,701,702 and 710 its a reprint from cornell publications or abby books try www.cornellpubs.com the 700 series was made from 1949 through to 1979
W&S changed hands in 1958??????????? I think befor finally shutinh the doors in 1979.
good shooting
