When it comes to hauling a rifle up steep Ozark ridges or through a damp river bottom, the weight on your shoulder is a tactical consideration. This rifle addresses that directly. The slim-profile barrel and synthetic stock bring the scale down, while the stainless steel ensures the first shot is as reliable as the last, even after a morning in the fog. At $930.78, this is a purpose-built tool for the serious hunter. The classic .30-06 chambering means you have a vast selection of factory ammunition at your disposal, from managed-recoil loads for deer to heavy bullets for larger game. That said, its real value is in its balanced design—it’s built to be carried far more than it’s fired, and it excels in that role.
Who This Rifle Is For
This is for the hunter who measures distance in vertical feet, not just yards. It’s for the Missouri whitetail hunter pursuing deer in the Mark Twain National Forest, or the elk hunter heading west. It’s for anyone who prioritizes reliability and carry-ability over pure benchrest precision, understanding that a lighter, simpler rifle that fits out of the box is a huge advantage when you’re miles from the truck. The action is a proven platform, easily compatible with aftermarket triggers from brands like Timney to fine-tune the pull to your preference.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Exceptional corrosion resistance for all-weather use. Lightweight design reduces fatigue on long hunts. The .30-06 offers unmatched versatility in ammunition selection. The Remington 700 action has immense aftermarket support for customization. It’s a straightforward, no-frills rifle that works.
Cons: The slim barrel can heat up faster during extended shooting sessions, potentially affecting point of impact. The synthetic stock, while tough, may not have the premium feel of a laminated or walnut stock. As a hunting rifle, it’s a 4+1 capacity system—not a high-capacity option.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the barrel threaded for a muzzle brake or suppressor?
A: No, this is a classic sporter contour hunting barrel and is not threaded from the factory. Aftermarket threading is possible by a qualified gunsmith.
Q: What is the actual weight of the rifle?
A: The Mountain Rifle configuration typically weighs in around 6.5 to 7 pounds, making it significantly lighter than standard sporter-weight rifles. This specific model with its 22-inch stainless barrel and synthetic stock sits at the lower end of that range.
Q: Can I mount a scope directly?
A: Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard Remington 700 scope bases. You’ll need to purchase and install separate bases and rings, compatible with models like the Leupold STD or Warne Maxima series, to mount your optics. FFL transfer required for firearm purchases when ordering online.
This Remington 700 Mountain Rifle is a specialized tool built for a specific job. It trades some heft and bench-shooting comfort for the critical advantage of easy carry in tough country.
