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. This one is chambered for 6.8mm Remington SPC and has a 24 inch heavy 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 Fine-Excellent condition and something you definitely need if you have not added one to your arsenal yet! Please see our photos and good luck!
