Remington Model 700 Long Range
Remington Arms Company, LLC · Rifle · In Production · 2005
Also known as: Remington 700 Long Range, Remington 700 LR
Overview
The Remington Model 700 Long Range is a bolt-action hunting rifle built on Remington's long-action Model 700 receiver and configured specifically for extended-range shooting. It pairs a 26-inch heavy-contour, free-floating barrel with a Bell and Carlson composite stock reinforced by a full-length aluminum bedding block, giving the platform the rigidity needed for consistent accuracy at distance. Chambered in flat-shooting magnum and standard long-action cartridges such as .300 Winchester Magnum, .30-06 Springfield, 7mm Remington Magnum, .25-06 Remington and .300 Remington Ultra Magnum, it uses the classic two-lug Model 700 action with a hinged floorplate internal magazine and an adjustable X-Mark Pro trigger.

Notes
Part of Remington's specialized Model 700 hunting family, the Long Range trades the sporter-weight barrel of the standard BDL/CDL for a heavier, threaded 26-inch tube to wring maximum velocity and accuracy from magnum cartridges. The Bell and Carlson stock's aramid, graphite and fiberglass composite construction with an aluminum bedding block is intended to resist point-of-impact shifts across temperature and humidity changes.
Background
The Model 700 action has anchored Remington's bolt-action lineup since 1962 and served as the basis for the U.S. military's M24 and M40 sniper systems. The Long Range variant applies that same proven action to the growing civilian long-range and precision-hunting market, offering an affordable factory rifle capable of reaching well beyond typical hunting distances.
