Description
The Remington 700 AWR Bolt 300 Win Mag 24″ Barrel Synthetic Brown Stock is a modern, hard-use hunting rifle built on the legendary 700 action. It’s a purpose-driven long-range hunting tool chambered in the potent .300 Winchester Magnum, featuring a durable synthetic stock and a 24-inch barrel for maximizing velocity. This rifle is designed for hunters who need reliable, cold-bore accuracy in demanding conditions, from the backcountry of the Rockies to the plains of the Midwest.
I’ve put a few boxes of factory ammo through this platform in similar configurations, and here’s what stands out. The AWR (All-Weather Rifle) designation isn’t just marketing—the synthetic stock and corrosion-resistant finishes mean you can focus on the hunt, not babysitting your gear in the rain or snow. The 24-inch barrel is the sweet spot for the .300 Win Mag, giving you that extra bit of muzzle velocity for flatter trajectories at extended ranges without becoming overly cumbersome in a blind or thick timber. At $929.18, it sits in a competitive spot for a ready-to-hunt, magnum-caliber rifle from a proven lineage.
- Legendary 700 Action: The heart of the system, known for its strength, simplicity, and exceptional aftermarket support for triggers and chassis.

- Durable Synthetic Stock: Brown finish provides a low-glare profile; the material is stable in all weather conditions and shrugs off bumps.

Who It’s For: This rifle is for the serious hunter who pursues elk, moose, or mule deer in open country where shots can stretch out. It’s for the shooter who values proven reliability over flashy gimmicks and needs a tool that won’t let them down in bad weather. If you’re planning a western hunt or want a capable, long-range rifle for Missouri’s deer season, this is a solid foundation. It’s also a great platform for someone interested in long-range shooting who wants to start with a factory rifle that has massive upgrade potential. Look, the .300 Win Mag has more recoil than a .308—this isn’t a plinker. It’s a specialist’s tool.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The Remington 700 action is arguably the most supported platform in America, meaning you can easily find aftermarket triggers from brands like Timney, stocks from Bell and Carlson, or drop it into a chassis system. The synthetic stock is drop-in ready and requires no fitting, which is a huge plus for a working rifle. The 24-inch barrel is the right choice for the cartridge, and the overall package offers excellent out-of-the-box utility for its price point.
Cons: The .300 Win Mag generates significant recoil and muzzle blast—not ideal for new shooters or long days at the bench. Factory synthetic stocks can sometimes be hollow and lack premium ergonomics, though they get the job done. As with any firearm purchase, remember that an FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases when ordering online. This rifle, with its 44.5-inch overall length, is also not a compact mountain rifle; it’s built for stability at distance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the .300 Winchester Magnum too much gun for whitetail deer in Missouri?
A: It’s more than necessary, but with proper ammunition selection (controlled expansion bullets), it’s highly effective. The real advantage is the flat trajectory, which simplifies holdovers at longer ranges if you have a clear, ethical shot.
Q: Can I mount a scope easily on this rifle?
A: Yes. The Remington 700 AWR comes drilled and tapped for scope bases. You’ll need to purchase separate bases and rings. Popular two-piece base sets from companies like Leupold or Warne are widely compatible.
Q: What’s the real-world accuracy potential?
A: With quality factory ammunition or handloads, sub-MOA (Minute of Angle) accuracy is a reasonable expectation from this platform. The combination of the rigid action and free-floated barrel profile provides a great foundation for consistency. That said, finding the specific ammo your rifle’s barrel “likes” is always the key.
