The Remington 700 chambered in .22-250 Remington is the gold standard for long-range varmint and predator hunting. Combining the world's most popular bolt-action design with a high-velocity cartridge, it offers a "flat" trajectory that simplifies long-range shooting.
The .22-250 caliber is frequently called the "King of Varmints" due to its blistering speed—often exceeding 3,600 feet per second—which delivers explosive terminal performance on targets like coyotes and ground squirrels. Effective Range: Reliable accuracy out to 500 yards for the average hunter, with skilled marksmen pushing to 800 yards. Minimal Recoil: Offers a significant advantage in speed over the .243 while maintaining much lower recoil, allowing for fast follow-up shots. Precision: Standard factory models are known to produce sub-MOA groups (under 1 inch at 100 yards) right out of the box. Legendary Action: The "three rings of steel" design completely encloses the cartridge head for maximum strength and safety. Customization: From heavy-contour varmint barrels to Hogue overmolded stocks and precision triggers, the 700 can be tailored for any terrain. Consistency: The .22-250 cartridge has maintained stable ammunition pricing and availability compared to more volatile calibers.
