Remington 700 Bolt Action: Precision Shooting with U.S. Optics

Precision shooting demands a platform that balances mechanical consistency, ergonomic control, and optics capable of delivering repeatable results at distance. Whether you’re dialing on paper, stalking longer-range targets from a fixed position, or training for competition, the right combination of chassis, barrel, and glass makes all the difference.

REMINGTON MODEL 700

The rifle on the table is a custom-built REMINGTON MODEL 700 configured for practical precision: a single 4-round magazine, a 5.5″ optic rail for secure scope mounting, a fluted Bartlein barrel for accuracy and heat management, and a muzzle brake to tame recoil. A McGee Precision folding stock and chassis gives compact transport and a consistent shooting geometry, while a Harris bipod provides rock-solid front support. Topping the platform is a U.S. optics ER 25 5-25X58MM scope with a lit reticle and internal bubble level to help maintain true cant-free holds at long range. If you want a precision-ready package without paying full retail for new gear, consider this Certified Used offering at $3,704.99. Shop this product

Why the REMINGTON MODEL 700 Platform Works

The Remington 700 legacy is built on a simple, stout action with countless aftermarket support pieces. This particular build takes those strengths and amplifies them: Bartlein barrels are recognized for tight tolerances and consistent harmonics, and fluting reduces weight and increases surface area for quicker cooling—both practical benefits for extended strings of fire. Paired with a muzzle brake, shooters experience reduced recoil impulse, which helps keep the reticle steady for faster follow-up shots.

Chassis, Stock, and Ergonomics

The McGee Precision folding stock and chassis is more than a convenience for transport; it delivers a repeatable cheek weld and length of pull in a rigid platform. Folding mechanisms on precision chassis are only valuable when they lock up with zero shift—this setup provides that mechanical integrity. The integrated 5.5″ optic rail ensures your U.S. optics ER 25 sits on a solid foundation, minimizing scope movement relative to the bore during firing and improving return-to-zero after disassembly.

Harris Bipod Integration

A Harris bipod is a proven choice for fixed-position stability. When combined with a rigid chassis and free-floated Bartlein barrel, the bipod allows the rifle to track naturally without torquing the barrel. That stability translates to tighter vertical stringing and more confidence when engaging targets at increasing ranges.

Optics: U.S. Optics ER 25 5-25X58MM

The U.S. optics ER 25 5-25X58MM in this build is a long-range workhorse. With 5-25x magnification and a 58mm objective, it balances low-end field of view with high-end detail for precise shot placement. The lit reticle allows rapid aiming in varied light conditions, and the internal bubble level helps eliminate cant-induced misses—critical when operating past a few hundred yards. This scope and rail combination gives a shooter a true precision package for both competitive and practical applications. View product details and pricing

Barrel and Ballistics Considerations

Bartlein barrels are often selected by serious shooters because of consistent bore dimensions and controlled rifling processes—both produce more uniform muzzle velocities shot-to-shot. The fluted profile on this barrel reduces weight without compromising stiffness and increases surface area for heat dissipation on long sessions. The muzzle brake helps control felt recoil and muzzle rise; combined, these features make follow-up shot timing and sight picture recovery noticeably faster.

Practical Applications and Use Cases

This REMINGTON MODEL 700 build is suited for a range of precision tasks: target and competition shooting where repeatability matters, long-range training, and situations where a shooter wants to maximize accuracy while minimizing weight and recoil. The 4-round magazine keeps weight and profile compact while still providing multiple rapid shots; it’s an excellent compromise for shooters focused on precision rather than high-capacity applications.

Field Handling and Transport

The McGee folding stock makes the rifle easier to transport to and from the range or field. When folded, the chassis shortens for safer carry and storage; when unfolded and locked, the stock provides the consistent geometry needed for precision work. Make sure you check lockup after folding and unfolding—properly designed systems will return to zero without tools, but it’s good practice to verify before critical shots.

Certified Used Value Proposition

Buying Certified Used is a practical way to access high-end components and proven builds without the full new price. This specific REMINGTON MODEL 700 is marked Certified Used, meaning it’s held to a high standard—very good to excellent condition—and includes a ‘no questions asked’ return policy. At $3,704.99, you’re getting a detailed package: chassis, premium barrel, quality bipod, and a high-performance scope. That combination of parts would cost significantly more if purchased separately and assembled piece by piece.

Care, Maintenance, and Long-Term Performance

Maintaining a precision rifle is straightforward: clean bore and crown regularly, ensure the action and optic mounts are torqued to spec, and inspect the folding mechanism and chassis interfaces for wear. With a Bartlein barrel, a consistent cleaning routine preserves accuracy. The U.S. optics scope should be mounted on a stable rail and checked for secure rings and reticle alignment periodically.

If you’re evaluating serious precision options, this REMINGTON MODEL 700 build is a strong candidate: premium barrel and scope, dependable chassis, and practical support gear all assembled into a ready-to-shoot package. To see availability and make a purchase, Check availability.
