Whether defending freedom or pursuing big game, its out-of-the-box accuracy is unmatched. It's the number one bolt-action of all time, proudly made in the U.S.A. For over 50 years, more Model 700s have been sold than any other bolt-action rifle before or since. The legendary strength of its 3-rings-of-steel receiver paired with a hammer-forged barrel, combine to yield the most popular bolt-action rifle in history. The Model 700 also utilizes a X-Mark Pro externally adjustable trigger. If you value tiny groups and the big-time weather resistance of stainless steel and synthetic stocks, our Model 700 Varmint Stainless Fluted (SF) is for you. Its 26" heavy-contour barrel is fluted for weight reduction while maintaining rigidity and rapid cooling. The concave dish crown protects the rifling lands and promotes tack-driving bullet flight. The rugged synthetic stock has over-molded panels for a sure grip and a vented beavertail fore-end that keeps air flowing around the barrel. There are dual front swivel studs for sling and bi-pod.
