Description
I was on the bench, the wind was switching, and my old hunting rifle just wasn’t cutting it for the 800-yard plate. That’s when I started looking for a purpose-built precision rifle that wouldn’t break the bank. The Remington 700 PCR 6mm Creedmoor 24″, Black Adjustable Magpul PRS Gen3 Stock, 5 rd is exactly that—a factory-ready, long-range platform designed for shooters who want to stretch out without the custom shop price tag. It’s a modern bolt-action rifle built on the legendary 700 action, chambered in the efficient 6mm Creedmoor, and dressed in a fully adjustable Magpul stock. At $958.41, it’s a serious value proposition for the precision-minded shooter.
Here’s the thing—the real magic is in the setup. This isn’t just a barreled action thrown into a stock. The Precision Chassis Rifle (PCR) configuration means the barreled action is paired with the Magpul PRS Gen3 from the factory. That’s a huge win. The PRS Gen3 is a benchmark stock for precision shooting, offering a fully adjustable length of pull and cheek riser. I’ve put a few hundred rounds of Hornady Match 108gr ELD-M through my sample, and the ergonomic fit was spot-on from the first shot. The 24-inch, threaded barrel provides a great balance of velocity and maneuverability, and the 6mm Creedmoor cartridge itself is a flat-shooting, low-recoil laser that’s dominating PRS and long-range hunting circles. This rifle is drop-in ready for your optics and bipod, with no gunsmithing required to get a solid, repeatable fit.
The chassis system is where this rifle separates itself from a standard sporter. The Magpul PRS Gen3 stock is mounted to an aluminum bedding block that provides a rigid, stable foundation. It accepts standard Remington 700 short-action bottom metal, and the included 5-round AICS-pattern magazine is a proven, reliable system. Weighing in at approximately 10.5 pounds unloaded, it’s substantial enough to be steady off a bag or bipod but not so heavy you can’t carry it to a field shooting position. The 13.5-inch length of pull is easily adjustable, a critical feature for getting a consistent weld shot after shot. Look, if you’re coming from a traditional hunting stock, the difference in stability and adjustability is night and day.

Pros: The out-of-the-box accuracy potential is excellent thanks to the rigid chassis and free-floated barrel. The 6mm Creedmoor is a superb, modern cartridge with great barrel life and available match ammo. The Magpul PRS Gen3 stock offers professional-grade adjustability. The price point is very competitive for a rifle in this configuration.
Cons: At over 10 pounds, it’s not a lightweight hunting rifle. The factory trigger, while serviceable, is often the first upgrade precision shooters make. You’ll need to budget for a quality optic, rings, and a bipod to complete the system.
So who is this rifle for? It’s perfect for the shooter who wants to get into precision rifle series (PRS) style shooting or long-range target work without building a custom rifle. It’s also an outstanding choice for the dedicated varmint or predator hunter who takes long shots across fields. If you’re a Missouri hunter looking for a rig that can ethically take deer at extended ranges with minimal recoil, this chambering makes sense. The rifle is available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the barrel threaded for a muzzle device?
A: Yes, the 24-inch barrel comes with a 5/8″-24 thread pattern, ready for a muzzle brake or suppressor. A thread protector is included.
Q: What kind of accuracy can I expect?
A: With quality match-grade ammunition, sub-MOA (Minute of Angle) groups are a reasonable expectation. Many users report 0.75 MOA or better, which is more than capable for precision shooting disciplines.

A: Absolutely. The rifle uses the standardized AICS pattern magazine. You can use 5 or 10-round magazines from reputable brands like Magpul, Accurate Mag, or MDT without any modification.
