Caliber, ballistics, and field use

.243 Winchester — why it matters

This REMINGTON 700 is chambered for .243win, a versatile caliber prized for medium-game work. The .243 offers flat trajectory, light recoil, and excellent accuracy at typical hunting ranges, making it ideal for deer-sized game and longer-range shots when carefully placed. Paired with an accurate barrel and solid bedding, a 4rd capacity bolt-action like this one gives you dependable follow-up capability while remaining lightweight for long glassing and stalking days.

Capacity, handling, and practical considerations

The 4rd capacity is typical for hunting configurations and balances weight and concealability with sufficient magazine capacity for field use. Buyers should evaluate stock condition, bolt smoothness, headspace, and receiver wear. A pre-purchase inspection is recommended; have a gunsmith check the barrel crown, bore condition, and action timing to ensure serviceable accuracy and safety.

For hunters outfitting this rifle, consider a low-power variable optic for versatility and a soft recoil pad for comfort on longer sessions. The rifle’s bolt-action roots make it ideal for mounting reliable optics and upgrading the trigger for tighter groups.

If you’re looking for a proven, affordable hunting rifle with practical power and collectible value, this REMINGTON 700 at $499.99 is worth a close look. View product details and pricing or Check current availability on the shop page to purchase through the retailer.
