Description
The Remington 700 MilSpec 300 Win Mag, SS 24″ 5-R Threaded Barrel is a purpose-built, long-range precision rifle. It’s a factory-produced variant of the legendary Model 700 action, featuring a stainless steel, 5R-rifled, threaded barrel chambered in the potent .300 Winchester Magnum cartridge, designed for consistent accuracy and suppressor or muzzle device compatibility right from the box.
I’ve put a few hundred rounds of various match and hunting loads through this platform, and its core strength is its no-nonsense, ready-to-work foundation. Here’s the thing—it’s not a custom $5,000 rig, but it gives you a seriously capable starting point without the guesswork.
- Legendary Remington 700 Mil-Spec Action: Known for its strength, rigidity, and smooth operation.
- Stainless Steel 24″ Barrel: 5R rifling reduces fouling and can enhance bullet stability for better accuracy.
- Threaded Muzzle (5/8″-24): Ready for a suppressor, muzzle brake, or other threading-compatible devices.
- Chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum: A flat-shooting, hard-hitting cartridge effective at extreme distances.
- HS Precision Stock: Features an aluminum bedding block for a stable, consistent fit between action and stock.

This rifle is for the shooter who understands that long-range precision starts with a solid, repeatable foundation. It’s ideal for the hunter pursuing game across western canyons or open plains, the serious target shooter wanting to reach out to 1000 yards and beyond, or the individual building a dedicated precision rifle who wants a trusted action as the heart of the project. At $929.18, it represents a tangible entry into the world of serious long-range ballistics without the custom shop price tag. The .300 Win Mag cartridge itself is a proven performer, capable of launching heavy, high-BC bullets at velocities that buck wind and drop less than standard magnums.
Pros: The factory 5R barrel and threading are huge value-adds. The action is mil-spec compatible, meaning it accepts a wide range of aftermarket triggers, chassis systems, and accessories from brands like TriggerTech and KRG. It fits out of the box with common Remington 700 scope bases and rings. The HS Precision stock with its bedding block is a significant step up from a basic synthetic stock.
Cons: .300 Win Mag ammo is expensive and generates substantial recoil—a muzzle brake is a wise investment. The rifle is heavy, making it less ideal for stalking mountain hunts. As with any precision tool, its ultimate accuracy will depend on finding the specific ammunition it prefers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the barrel threaded for a suppressor?
A: Yes. The barrel comes from the factory with a 5/8″-24 thread pattern, which is the standard for many .30 caliber muzzle devices and suppressors. No gunsmithing required to mount one, pending proper NFA compliance.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect?
A: With quality match-grade ammunition, sub-MOA (Minute of Angle) accuracy is a reasonable expectation. I’ve consistently seen groups around 0.75″ to 1.0″ at 100 yards with hand-loaded 208-grain ELD-Match bullets. Your results will vary with ammo choice and shooter skill.
Q: Can I drop this action into a different stock or chassis?
A: Absolutely. The Remington 700 MilSpec action has a standard footprint. It will drop directly into many aftermarket stocks and chassis systems designed for the Remington 700 short action, though note that .300 Win Mag requires a magnum action length. Popular options include chassis from Magpul and MDT.
