Precision varmint work and long-range small-game management demand a rifle that balances barrel length, stability, and a proven action. For shooters who prioritize accuracy for extended .223 engagements, the right bolt-action platform makes all the difference.

REMINGTON 700 VARMINT Shop this product — this Remington 700 Varmint .223 rem. rifle shows some handling and wear but remains in good shape overall. Its defining feature is the 26″ heavy barrel, a length and profile tailored to maximize muzzle velocity and tighten groups for varmint and precision shooting. Priced at $1499.99, it presents a practical option for shooters seeking a factory-built heavy-barrel bolt action.

Barrel and Accuracy Advantages

The 26″ heavy barrel on this REMINGTON 700 VARMINT increases velocity over shorter sporter barrels and stabilizes harmonics for more consistent shot-to-shot performance. For .223 Remington loads, that extra velocity translates to flatter trajectories and increased effective range for prairie dog and coyote work. Heavy contours also reduce point-of-impact shift during multi-shot strings, a clear benefit in long-range varmints.

Action, Fit and Practical Considerations

The Remington 700 action is a time-tested platform known for solid bedding and aftermarket support. This listing is noted as exhibiting handling and cosmetic wear — standard language for a used rifle — so inspect bolt function, trigger pull consistency, and stock bedding when evaluating. The listing indicates the model line as Various, so verify specific serial and configuration details with the seller before purchase.

For optics, the long heavy barrel pairs well with higher-magnification scopes and low-profile rings. If you’re planning dedicated varmint use, consider match-grade .223 ammunition for best accuracy from this 26″ profile. For more information, View product details and pricing on the shop page.
