Remington | Model 700 Varmint Special | .243 Winchester | Bolt-Action Rifle | 24" Heavy Barrel The Remington Model 700 Varmint Special is a classic American bolt-action rifle designed for precision shooting and varmint hunting. Built on Remington's renowned Model 700 action, the Varmint Special combined a heavy-contour barrel with an attractive walnut stock, providing a stable shooting platform while retaining the traditional appearance of a sporting rifle. Introduced during the 1960s, the Model 700 Varmint Special became a popular choice among varmint hunters and precision rifle enthusiasts. Its heavier barrel profile was designed to provide increased rigidity and consistency during extended shooting sessions. This example, serial number B6253962, is chambered in .243 Winchester and features a 24" heavy barrel. The barrel markings appear to include the date code “EA,” corresponding to October 1980 under Remington's traditional barrel dating system. The rifle features an attractive walnut stock with pronounced wood grain, a raised cheekpiece, and factory-style checkering on the pistol grip and forearm. The forearm is finished with a contrasting black tip separated from the walnut by a thin light-colored wood spacer, giving the rifle the distinctive appearance associated with classic Remington sporting and varmint rifles. Mounted on the rifle is a Bushnell Banner 4-12x variable-power riflescope, providing a versatile magnification range for hunting and target shooting. Chambered in .243 Winchester, the rifle combines the Model 700's established bolt-action design with a cartridge appreciated for its relatively mild recoil, flat trajectory, and versatility in varmint and deer hunting.
