Description
You’re glassing a bean field at last light, and you see that coyote that’s been thinning the local rabbit population. The wind is right, but the shot is a solid 250 yards. You need a rifle that’s steady, accurate, and hits with authority. That’s the exact scenario where the Remington 700 VTR, Bolt Action, 22-250 Remington, 22″ Barrel, Black, Flat Dark Earth Synthetic Stock, Bi-Pod, 4Rd, earns its keep. It’s a purpose-built varmint rifle designed for precision and stability in the field, and it comes ready to hunt right out of the box with its included bipod.
I’ve put a few hundred rounds of various 55-grain loads through this platform, and the consistency is what you’d expect from the 700 action—the bedrock of countless custom builds. The unique triangular barrel profile isn’t just for looks; it’s designed to dissipate heat quickly and reduce weight up front without sacrificing rigidity. Paired with the free-floated, textured Flat Dark Earth synthetic stock, you get a solid, repeatable platform. The included bipod locks down tight, giving you that stable field position that turns a guess into a sure thing. At $751.43, this package delivers serious value by bundling a proven rifle with a critical field accessory.
What Makes It Work
The heart is the legendary Remington 700 bolt action. It’s a simple, strong, and famously accurate system. The 22-250 Remington chambering is a flat-shooting laser beam—my handloads with 50-grain V-Max bullets are routinely printing sub-MOA groups off the bipod. The 22-inch barrel keeps the overall length handy for truck or ATV use without giving up too much velocity. The stock’s textured finish provides a solid grip in all conditions, and the matte black metalwork paired with Flat Dark Earth is a practical, low-glare finish for the field. This rifle is drop-in ready for a wide array of popular optics using standard Remington 700 bases, like those from Leupold or Warne.

The Straight Talk
Pros: The accuracy potential is excellent straight from the factory. The package deal with the bipod is a huge practical advantage—you’re ready to shoot immediately. The 22-250 is devastating on varmints and a joy to shoot with minimal recoil. The weight, just under 8 lbs without optics, is a good balance for carrying and shooting steady.
Cons: The trigger, while adjustable, benefits from a break-in period or a replacement for a truly crisp pull. The triangular barrel can be a bit specific for some aftermarket stock options if you ever decide to swap. And look, the 22-250 is a barrel burner if you shoot it incessantly—but for its intended use, that’s a non-issue for most hunters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the bipod removable, and what kind is it?
A: Yes, it attaches via a standard sling swivel stud on the forend and is easily removable. It’s a sturdy, spring-loaded deployable model perfect for field use, though serious long-range shooters may eventually upgrade to a more specialized unit.
Q: How does the triangular barrel affect accuracy?
A: The design stiffens the barrel compared to a sporter contour of similar weight and increases surface area for cooling. In practice, I found it heats up more evenly and returns to zero faster during strings of fire than some lighter barrels.
Q: Can this action be used for a custom build later?
A: Absolutely. The Remington 700 action is the most customized bolt action in history. The unique barrel profile means you’d need a stock inletted for it, but the action itself is a standard 700 short action, compatible with a vast universe of triggers, stocks, and chassis systems from brands like Timney and Magpul.
