Description
Picture this: you need a rifle that bridges the gap between a precision varmint rig and a capable tactical tool. Something that can reach out and touch a coyote at 300 yards from a concealed position, or serve as a disciplined, low-recoil training platform. That’s the operational niche of the Remington 700 VTR, Bolt Action, 223 Remington, 22″ Barrel, Black, Flat Dark Earth Synthetic Stock, Bi-Pod, 5Rd. It’s a purpose-built bolt-action rifle designed for accuracy and field utility right from the factory.
The VTR stands out immediately with its distinctive triangular barrel profile. This isn’t just for looks—the design is meant to dissipate heat quickly and add rigidity where it counts, directly under the receiver. Topped with a quality scope, this rifle is drop-in ready for serious work. The included bipod gives you an instant, stable field position, whether you’re glassing a pasture or setting up on a bench. At $751.43, this package delivers a complete, no-fuss system.
Key Features & Performance
The heart of the VTR is the legendary Remington 700 action, known for its strength and aftermarket support. Chambered in .223 Remington, it offers affordable practice and hunting capabilities with minimal recoil. The 22-inch barrel provides an excellent balance of velocity and maneuverability—long enough for solid ballistic performance but still handy in a vehicle or blind. The Flat Dark Earth Hogue overmolded stock provides a solid, non-slip grip in all conditions and features an integrated swivel stud for the bipod and a sling.
Here’s the thing—the .223 chambering makes this an ideal rifle for introducing new shooters to centerfire precision or for high-volume training sessions without the cost and shoulder fatigue of larger calibers. Yet, with the right ammunition, it remains a supremely effective cartridge for predators and small game. The rifle ships with a 5-round detachable box magazine, allowing for quick reloads and safe unloading. The total package weight sits around 7.5 lbs, making it easy to carry on extended patrols or hunts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the bipod included and attached?
A: Yes, the package includes a bipod. It typically attaches directly to the integrated front swivel stud on the stock, requiring no gunsmithing for installation.
Q: Can this rifle fire 5.56 NATO ammunition?
A: The barrel is marked .223 Remington. While many modern .223 chambers can safely fire 5.56 NATO, it is not recommended by Remington for the 700 VTR. Always consult your manual and stick to SAAMI-spec .223 Remington ammunition for guaranteed safety and performance.
Q: What type of optics mount does it use?
A: The Remington 700 VTR comes drilled and tapped for a standard scope base. You will need to purchase and install separate scope rings and bases, which are widely available in both Picatinny and Weaver styles.
