The Remington 700 bolt action rifle comes in an amazing array of models. Remington started making rifles on this model in the early 1960s, and they have made many variations.

Some police agencies and military snipers use this rifle as a sniper rifle, as it is a very accurate system and is within the budget of most agencies.

The rifles are usually capable of sub-MOA or slightly over one inch groups, right out of the box. This meets the needs of most shooters.

Both the U.S. Army's M-24 Sniper rifle and the U.S. Marine's M-40 sniper rifles are based on the Remington 700 system.

Today we took a couple of models of this rifle to the range and shot them at 100 yards.

Mine is a Remington 700 VLS, which stands for Varmint Laminated Stock.

It is in .308 caliber.

The laminated stock looks nice and is very tough.

The barrel is a 26 inch heavy contour barrel with a 0.820 muzzle OD.
