Remington Model 700 Classic
Introduced in 1963, the .221 Remington Fireball was first chambered in the
Remington XP-100™, and is an obvious choice to join the list of distinguished,
limited edition Model 700 Classic chamberings. Long a favorite of serious
target shooters and varmint hunters, this shortened version of the .222 Remington
delivers high-velocity accuracy and quick expansion for long-range targets
and small game.
The Model 700 Classic features the elegance of a straight comb, classic style
stock of American walnut with a low-gloss, satin finish and crisp-cut checkering.
The clean, carbon steel barrel has a polished blue finish and is 24 inches
in length with a twist rate of one turn in 14-inches. Matched with the new
Premier®
Varmint .221 Remington Fireball, 50-grain V-Max™ offering, the Model
700 Classic delivers unmatched accuracy in a beautiful collector’s series
rifle.
Dating back to 1981, the impressive list of one-year limited edition Model
700 Classics has included many of the truly great centerfire chamberings.
Adding to
the uniqueness of this Classic offering is the distinction of being the first
production rifle chambered in .221 Remington Fireball. The 22nd annual edition
of the
Model 700 Classic is available for one year only at a suggested retail price
of $656.
