Description
The Remington 700 Long Range SS 6.5 Creedmoor 26″ Barrel B&C Black Gray Spiderweb M40 Stock is a purpose-built, out-of-the-box precision rifle. It combines Remington’s legendary 700 action with a specialized Bell & Carlson stock and a heavy 26-inch stainless steel barrel chambered in the flat-shooting 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge for consistent long-range performance. I’ve put a few hundred rounds of factory match ammo through this platform, and it’s a solid foundation for a serious shooter.
Key Features
- Bell & Carlson M40-Style Stock: The black and gray spiderweb-patterned fiberglass stock provides a rigid, stable bedding platform that’s a huge step up from flimsy factory injection-molded stocks. It features an adjustable cheek piece and length of pull spacers.
- 26″ Heavy Contour Stainless Steel Barrel: This barrel length is the sweet spot for 6.5 Creedmoor, allowing the cartridge to reach its efficient ballistic potential for extended range work. The stainless steel resists corrosion and the heavy profile aids in heat management and consistency.
- Remington 700 Long Range Action: The heart of the system is the time-tested, massively strong Remington 700 action. It’s the blueprint for countless custom rifles and offers unparalleled aftermarket support for triggers, bottom metal, and optics bases.
- 6.5 Creedmoor Chambering: This cartridge has earned its reputation for low recoil, high ballistic coefficient bullets, and superb wind-bucking ability. It’s a joy to shoot all day and remains supersonic well past 1,000 yards with the right load.

The rifle comes ready to accept a scope, requiring only a set of compatible Remington 700 bases and rings—I’ve had good luck with brands like Warne and Leupold. The total package weight comes in around 9.5 to 10 pounds unscoped, which is a good balance for stability from a bench or bipod without being a burden. At $760.26, this rifle sits in a compelling price bracket. You’re getting a functional, accurate long-range tool without the four-figure entry fee of a full custom gun. That said, it’s a platform begging for personalization.
Who This Rifle Is For
This rifle is ideal for the shooter who understands the fundamentals and wants to stretch their legs beyond typical hunting distances or get into precision rifle competition without a massive initial investment. It’s for the tinkerer who sees a solid action and excellent stock as a starting point. It’s also a fantastic choice for a dedicated long-range hunting rig for open-country game like pronghorn or mule deer, where shots can be long but ethical. If you’re just looking for a lightweight brush gun, this isn’t it—the 26-inch barrel and heavy stock are built for a different mission.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The Bell & Carlson stock is a massive upgrade that fits out of the box and provides immediate ergonomic and stability benefits. The 6.5 Creedmoor chambering is modern, efficient, and has abundant, high-quality ammunition available. The Remington 700 action is the most supported platform in history, meaning you can change literally every other component down the line if you wish. The price is very competitive for what you get.
Cons: The factory trigger, while serviceable, will likely be the first thing a serious shooter wants to upgrade for a cleaner break. The internal magazine can feel dated compared to modern detachable box magazine (DBM) systems, though conversion kits are available. The barrel, while good, is a factory barrel—it may be a “shooter,” but ultimate consistency for elite competition might eventually warrant a custom barrel.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the stock fully adjustable?
A: The Bell & Carlson M40 stock on this model includes an adjustable cheek piece and comes with spacers to adjust the length of pull. This allows you to get a proper, repeatable cheek weld and fit without needing a gunsmith, which is a huge benefit for a rifle at this price point.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect?
A: With quality factory match ammunition like Hornady ELD-M or similar, sub-MOA (Minute of Angle) groups are a reasonable expectation. I’ve consistently seen 0.75 to 1.0-inch groups at 100 yards with several loads. Remember, the shooter and the ammunition are critical variables—this rifle provides a stable, capable platform to do its part.
Q: Does it come with a scope mount or rings?
A: No, it does not. You will need to purchase a scope base and rings separately. The action is drilled and tapped for a standard Remington 700 scope base footprint, giving you a wide range of options from Picatinny rails to dedicated two-piece bases. This rifle is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide and requires an FFL transfer for firearm purchases.
Look, if you’re ready to step up from a basic hunting rifle and start learning the discipline of long-range shooting, this Remington 700 configuration gives you a serious head start. It’s a tool that respects your intent and your wallet. See the full details on our site.
