Our Assessment: The Remington Model 700 Classic series was created to offer traditional sporting-rifle styling with special annual chamberings, giving collectors and hunters a chance to own less-common cartridges in a clean walnut-and-blue factory configuration. The Model 700 itself has been one of America’s most successful bolt action rifle platforms since the 1960s, known for its strong cylindrical receiver, smooth two-lug bolt, internal magazine, and broad reputation as a dependable hunting rifle. The .350 Remington Magnum is one of Remington’s more distinctive short magnum cartridges, originally introduced in the 1960s to deliver serious medium- to large-game performance from a relatively compact action. While never as common as standard long-action hunting cartridges, the .350 Rem Mag developed a following among hunters who wanted heavy bullet performance, strong woods-rifle authority, and something outside the ordinary. This 1985 Model 700 Classic combines that uncommon chambering with a 22” barrel, iron sights, checkered walnut stock, and factory box, making it a desirable Classic-series rifle for both collectors and hunters.
This Remington Model 700 Classic is a 1985-production bolt action rifle chambered in .350 Remington Magnum with a 22” barrel, original blued finish, factory iron sights, drilled and tapped receiver, checkered walnut stock, paperwork, and serial-matching factory box. The rifle retains about 98% of its finish with minor handling wear, light barrel patina, dried storage oil at the muzzle and front sight hood, and minor tooling on the screw heads.
