Description
You’re glassing a ridgeline at last light, the wind is a known variable, and the shot is yours to take. When that moment arrives, you need a rifle that’s more than a tool—it’s an extension of your intent. That’s where a purpose-built platform like the Remington 700 CDL 2020 Limited Edition 300 Savage, 22″ Barrel, Stainless Finish, Walnut Stock, 4rd makes its case. It’s a modern iteration of a legendary action, chambered in a classic cartridge, and dressed for serious field work.
The Remington 700 CDL 2020 Limited Edition is a limited-production bolt-action rifle built on the iconic Model 700 action. It’s chambered in the efficient .300 Savage cartridge, features a 22-inch stainless steel barrel, a classic American walnut stock, and a 4-round internal magazine. This configuration blends traditional aesthetics with modern corrosion resistance for a reliable hunting and shooting platform. It’s available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Let’s talk about the heart of the matter: the .300 Savage chambering. This isn’t a trendy wildcat; it’s a proven performer that bridges the gap between .308 and .30-30. With the 22-inch barrel, you get efficient powder burn and a handy overall length without sacrificing meaningful velocity. The cartridge is capable of cleanly taking deer, black bear, and similar game at sensible hunting distances. It’s a thinking shooter’s choice—effective without the excessive recoil or blast of magnum counterparts. The rifle’s overall weight, typically around 7.5 lbs, helps manage that recoil impulse for faster follow-up shots.
The stainless steel barrel and receiver are practical advantages you’ll appreciate. Missouri weather can turn on a dime—morning fog gives way to afternoon sun, and a sudden shower is always a possibility. The stainless finish resists the elements, letting you focus on the hunt, not on constant maintenance. The satin finish on this Limited Edition model provides a subdued look that won’t flash in the timber. Paired with the classic walnut stock, which features a satin finish and tasteful checkering, you have a rifle that looks like a heirloom but works like a daily driver. The stock design offers a solid cheek weld and grip, and the setup is drop-in ready for a scope, requiring no gunsmithing for a standard installation using bases from brands like Leupold or Warne.
Then there’s the action itself. The Model 700 footprint is the most customized and accessorized bolt action in history. The aftermarket support is vast. While this CDL is a complete, refined package out of the box, the platform’s legacy means you can tailor it down the road if you wish. Triggers, stocks, bottom metal—the options are nearly endless. The 4-round internal magazine is a classic, flush-fit design that keeps the profile sleek and snag-free.

Pros: The stainless/walnut combo offers durability and classic good looks. The .300 Savage is a mild-recoiling, effective medium-game cartridge. The Model 700 action is famously strong and widely supported. The rifle’s pointable weight and balance make it a natural carry in the field.
Cons: The .300 Savage, while excellent, is not as ubiquitous as .308 Winchester or .30-06 Springfield, so ammo selection may be more limited off the shelf. The internal magazine isn’t as fast to reload as a detachable box magazine system.
So who is this rifle for? It’s for the hunter who values a refined, traditional aesthetic but refuses to compromise on all-weather functionality. It’s for the shooter who appreciates historical cartridges that still get the job done without fanfare. It’s also for the individual who sees a limited-edition model not just as a collectible, but as a functional piece to be used and relied upon. At $979.94, it represents a specific intersection of heritage, practicality, and Remington’s classic craftsmanship.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the .300 Savage compare to .308 Winchester?
A: The .300 Savage is a predecessor with very similar performance. In a 22″ barrel, .300 Savage typically fires a 150-grain bullet around 2700 fps, while .308 might achieve 2800-2850 fps. The difference on game is minimal at most hunting ranges, but the .300 Savage often does it with less recoil and powder.
Q: Is the barrel threaded for a muzzle device or suppressor?
A: No, this classic CDL configuration features a crowned, non-threaded barrel. Its design prioritizes a clean, traditional profile for hunting applications.
Q: What type of scope bases does this 700 action use?
A: It uses the standard Remington 700 short action screw spacing. Popular two-piece bases from manufacturers like Leupold (Standard bases) or Weaver-style bases will fit. Remember, FFL transfer required for firearm purchases when ordering.
If a rifle that balances timeless style with all-weather readiness and a capable, classic chambering fits your needs, this Limited Edition 700 CDL warrants a close look.
