  • April 7th, 2015: I stated I was considering Leupold STD Rings and Talley Lightweight Rings.
  • April 29th, 2015: Picture of the 700 with what looks like the Talley Lightweight Rings.
  • July 18th, 2016: I stated I had went with "EGW's steel, 0 MOA picatinny rail and Leupold's steel 1" low PRW Rings".

Overview from remington.com 2015

Built on the famous Model 700™ cylindrical action, Remington® Varmint rifles are the most accurate factory-built models we produce. You'll be stunned by the degree of precision you get straight out of the box. The varmints won't be so lucky.

If you value tiny groups and the big-time weather resistance of stainless steel and synthetic, consider our new Model 700™ Varmint Stainless Fluted (SF) an instant treasure. Its 26" heavy-contour barrel is fluted for weight reduction while maintaining rigidity and rapid cooling. We also added a concave dish crown that protects the rifling lands and promotes tack-driving bullet flight. The rugged synthetic stock has overmolded panels for a sure grip and a vented beavertail fore-end that keeps air flowing around the barrel. There are dual front swivel studs for sling and bipod.

Key Features:

  • 26" heavy contour barrel (0.820" Muzzle O.D.) most models, for the ultimate in long-range accuracy
  • Concave target-style barrel crown
  • Synthetic stock with overmolding
  • Six longitudinal flutes reduce barrel weight and increase heat dissipation
  • Tactical style dual front swivel stud system for convenient mounting of bi-pod and sling
