Our Assessment: The Remington 700 needs no introduction, it has been one of the most popular bolt action rifles in America for decades, seeing use in target shooting, hunting, and in law enforcement. Remington had been producing sporting rifles for decades, but their Post-WWI Model 30 Sporter took too much time & money to make and required too much milling. After WWII they designed the Model 721 which used a receiver made of bar stock, meaning it could be turned on a lathe, cutting production time & cost. The basic design of the 721 went through further developments under the direction of engineer Mike Walker, and Remington went on to produce the Model 722 and Model 725, and finally, in 1962, the Model 700 was born. With the design, Walker desired to increase accuracy over previous designs so tight bore & chamber tolerances, a short leade, and fast lock time were used. Since its inception in 1962, it has been produced in just about any caliber and configuration you could think of. This one is chambered for 6.8mm Remington SPC and has a 22 inch fluted barrel. The 6.8mm Rem SPC was designed by Remington and the U.S. Army Marksmanship unit to replace the 5.56 NATO round to improve terminal ballistics and improve downrange lethality. The barrel has a nice bright bore with sharp rifling and this example has strong mechanics. This is a proven American classic in Excellent condition and something you definitely need if you have not added one to your arsenal yet! Please see our photos and good luck!
