"Remington 700: $700 for 700 yds" by Nutnfancy

- There are many outstanding precision tactical bolt guns. Very few however will cost you $700 or less. Here's two. Welcome to the detailed Nutnfancy tabletop discussion on the Remington 700 AAC and SPS models. With hundreds of rounds fired at both range and long range engagements there's plenty of data to share. First is the value equation. Some compromises have been made at this price point and there's no avoiding it. The plastic stock on the SPS for instance is not free floated, lacks aluminum or pillar bedding, and does not offer the ultimate rigidity of a McMillan of HS-Precison Kevlar/Fiberglass option. The bottom metal is reminiscent of pot metal and of course does not meet military specification of steel manufacture (thank heavens). But at their heart, the AAC and SPS models are true to the proven Remington 700 heritage; one I myself have grown up with. A very strong receiver, big locking lugs, and a forged button rifled barrel (of perfect tactical contour for sustained firing) are hallmarks of this American made rifle. Secondly, accuracy did not disappoint. It is discussed and shown in depth with a variey of loads. 1 MOA is possible, even with these plastic stocks. Ergonomics are excellent in the 700 line: smooth operating bolt, perfectly postioned and positive safety, comfortable stocks (the green Hogue on the AAC is especially quite and comfortable), effective Supercell recoil pads, easy to dump floorplate, excellent and adjustable X Mark Pro trigger and an adequately size bolt knob. Shooting these guns was fun and rewarding...mostly. Reliablity was good but definitely not flawless. Several hang-ups in magazine feeding were experienced and ejection was anemic on several occasions. Keep the ejector and extractor clean free from brass shavings and carefully ensure all rounds are rearward pushed upon mag loading. Also methodical bolt manipulation on these 700s helps avoid hang-ups. The AAC version with its 20" threaded barrel is ready for either can or compensator and it is a very portable choice. It excelled in RunNGun action. For ultimate long range precision, I prefer the 26" barrel on the SPS gaining whatever velocity possible on the .308 chambering. This is a gun that can range out to 700 yards in the .308 caliber, perhaps even to 1000 with careful loads, practice, and shooting. Do analyze your POUs carefully as you may be better served by a good albeit more complex and usually heavier SAPR (discussed). Value on both models is excellent and Remington has outstanding service if there's problems. Competitive options at this price will include the also excellent Savage line up which offers the same value but is usually much heavier. The Remington 700 AAC and SPS are my current favorite tactical offerings in the Remington value line up. The major sacrifice here against a 700P or XCR Tactical offerings is the plastic stock. But again in real world shooting it did not seem to handicap these rifles and they lighten the carry weights substantially. You then can score a very accurate American made sustained fire bolt gun for around $600 ($700 for AAC version) that can keep up with many other more expensive guns./////////////////////////////Nutnfancy Likability Scale for both: 8.5 out of 10

I purchased the Rem 700 ADL Varmint Bull barrel in the 308 Cal. I added a Magpul Hunter Stock /w Magpul magazine assembly. I purchased a Vortex viper 6.5x20x44 scope w/30mm tube . I put a cheap bipod off ebay for $20.00. I also reload my own ammo. I am shooting 150 gn bullet /w 44.0 gn Varget powder. It shoots great at long ranges. I have a Rem 700 AAC 308 rifle. Looking forward to rigging this gun out like the ADL. I want to do a comparsion between the two guns. By the way great video.
Im in love with Remington 700, lots of mods you can put on this rifle, real accurate if you know what ammo and scope to use, last summer i pushed ~800meters from this little rifle, so only good memories after shooting... :)
Have a Remington 700 in 30-06 for hunting, love it. All the stock options you can put on it I would dare to say it is the AR of bolt guns, very customizable to your needs.
I bought a 700 P back in the 90s and it is my favorite rifle to this day. It is made like a Swiss watch, it just radiates precision and fine engineering. That rifle still shoots under .5 MOA all day long with with just about anything I put in it (although I don't use crap ammo). All of the 700 models are fine rifles, and if you are in the market for a bolt gun, I highly recommend the 700 series. Especially the 700 P.
I'm glad I watched this. As a current poor college student, I have been considering selling my 700 to cover moving expenses. Really hard considering I took my first bear and deer with it. It's unfortunate that you regret selling yours, but hopefully others like me can learn from your experiences. Thanks for sharing.
dude sell everything but your dog and your fire arms.. and your Holy Bible. those three things will keep u good to go in the Event of a catastrophe..
your education will be a valuable tool as well. the dedication and the discipline to finish something that you started thats what college is all about. stay in the fight brother..
Bryan Calhoun sell your bible or use it as target practice.
Other than that it's useless.. or hey, maybe when you run out of toilet paper, the bible can come of good use for quite some time. :D
That was seriously uncool^^^
***** Dude, that is serious disrespect on many levels.
Commanderhurtz1 It's a bunch of paper with ink on them. Who cares? Not hurting anyone the way I see it.
Nutnfancy 2012: Love these guns, they rock. Nutnfancy 2015: Remington 700 has unacceptable accuracy.
Lol Ikr
Cole Byre I guess Remington forgot to mail him his check.
Yeah remingtons are at their best in 7mm Remington or 308 and even 270, 300 win mag is for the model 70
He might have been happy with that at the time, but after he reviewed more bolt actions he realized the 700 isn't all that special compared to others like the weatherby and fn tsr.
You can get rifles for approximately the same price that are guaranteed to be more accurate. Weatherby and tikka guarantee there rifles to 1moa and savage guarantees there rifles to 1.5 moa. I believe howas have an accuracy guarantee too. All those listed above cost just as much if not less than any 700.
Christmas just came early for me this year! My dad just finished his 'ultimate' .308 precision rifle build (after three years!!!), and I just got his hand-me-down rifle that's been filling that role up until now: Remington 700 XCR Tactical Long Range, with a Burris XTR 6-24. He'd put the oversized badger lever on, and a piece of rail up front. He kept the bipod, but I had a small Harris and a KAC rail adaptor for it that went right on. Now all I need is some desert!!! Technically this is 'on loan indefinitely. I can sell or trade... but who would want to!?! I've been lusting after a 700P for years. This will fill that distance precision role just fine, I think...
My dad won a remington 700 in a raffle back in 1970 at a grocery store and now...it's mine. I love that gun.
Loving the tactical gas release
1:57 xD thats loud!
Nutnfancy farts at 1:54 lmao!
Another one at 21:05
1 thing i love about the 700- it's been so successful for so long, (in so many POU's,) that it is easy and inexpensive to maintain & repair. Every smith knows this gun.
Your content's quality has leaped this year. No Doubt.
I like my Winchester mod 70 featherweight in 30-06. 70th anniversary version with that beautiful walnut stock
Okay? I like Oreos.
I got one too, gotta love Winchester.
The Savage model 10 really seems like a good alternative to the 700 these days.
I do love my old 78 (old budget 700), it shoots true every shot =).
I got a rem 700 after seeing this video and I love it. Thanks for all the reviews. You make buying guns easier with less risk of not knowing what your getting. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
I just bought my Remington 700 sps tactical for $650. It has a 1:10 twist 20" barrel with a vortex viper HS-T 4-16x44 and its crazy accurate! I love this rifle!!!
1:57, Fart? Nice.
hey nutn.....would like to see your thoughts on the new magpul hunter 700 stock paired with the magpul magazine bottom metal....would love to see one on the reviewing table!
my remington 700 varmint shoots .5 in groups at 100yds consistently with my hand loads. I love it and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for long range shooting.
I come for the guns and backpacking (and knives, flashlights, philosophies, etc.) and stay for the honesty.
2:52 "in a nutn shell"😂
1:56 *farts* "nice one" LOLOLOLOL! XD
I've used a 700 for hunting and recreation since I was in elementary school and love it. In order to prevent feeding issues I load the first round all the way to the back and each round after slightly forward of the last, that seems to aid with the feeding issues.
I love my Remington 700 ADL in 30-06 :) my first firearm.
Nuh, why remington, when you can have Tikka T3, or Sako 85.
Is it just me or does the sliding action of the bolt on that seem a tight/gritty?
Thanks TNP for a great honest review. Dicks had the Remington 700 ADL Varmint .308 26" HB (same as SPS but no floor plate?) in Mossy Oak with a 4-12x40 scope mounted for $350. YES, $350. This review made this chioce plain and simple.
On a side note, I love feeling like I'm getting the commentary from none other than Jeff Spicoli himself! Keep up the good work, dude!
have been waiting for a 700 review for about 3 years now Thanks so much!
This isn't a review, it's a fucking documentary.
the music is extremely obnoxious.
The Remington 700 has been made since 1964, it is the main sniper rifle the Army and Marines use only they call it the M24. I have a 700 Police model with the 26" Heavy Bull Bbl.It weights 10 pounds to the ounce. The last time i shot it, i put 5 rounds in two holes that was 3/4" apart, At 100 yards, i paid 650 dollars for it.
Great job nutn! I myself have a 700 BDL,detach mag.30.06 its about 13 years old! It's my favorite out of my collection for hunting. I also take it everywhere with me.Took many whitetail,Elk,pigs, and a few bear. The longest shot ever taken with it 1000 yards on a bet,12 pound pumpkin as a target and was granted 3 shots! Took it on the first and won a moose tag. Thanks bud keep up the good work
Was that incoming at 1:57
"nice one" at 1:56 too funny
I had a 700 CDL in .30-06 and it was great. Irons came zeroed.
I had to sell it, but I am getting an SPS .308cal on Sunday.
Remi rifles are smooth, low cost, easy to clean and light weight.
Best part of the video for me, the target comparison between different rounds. It does make a difference.
The Remington 700 is a nice accurate rifle, but my Savage .308 model 10 Accutrigger accustock, shoots better then any Remington 700 for the same price range. Here in Canada the Savage model 10 costs a little over $800.00 Canadian funds. With reloaded ammo "168 grain hornady BTHP and 42 grains IMR 4895 powder, Vortex 4-12X42 Diamondback scope", I"m shooting 1/4 inch MOA most of the time.......Canada
1:55 Sniper Fart !
+Stefan Purtić DEPLOY SMOKE!
Tainted love is now playing in the background. It really improves the vid.
Hi, In the US you do not need a permit to buy a gun. They do an instant background check at the store when you buy a gun. Some states/ cities require a permit to buy a handgun, but most places don't.
Out of my experience gloves help keep your hands warm and in the case of shooting they can help you keep from getting blisters, scratching fingers or burning your hand if you heat the barrel up.
the m24 sniper rifle is just a glorified 700
I hate it when people say "budget" Not everyone has the same budget..
Compared to most rifles the 700's are fairly inexpensive. Very accurate long-range shooting can be a very expensive field of shooting to get into. Most decent bolt guns run between $3,000-$5,000 and up.
When most people say "budget gun" they mean it as a cheap gun without making it sound like its poor quality, and no it's not in everybody's budget, but broad strokes get the fence painted quicker.
James Getsome Most decent bolt guns can be a hell of a lot cheaper than that. This 700 could probably reach out to 1,100 easy, with a decent optic and the right ammo. Generally the rule is $1,000 for 1,000. You don't need much more than that to get good range.
Dead Dog
Nope try 300yr

Awesome rifle it will touch someone.
I own 2 700's the vtr .308 and a 30_06. Both have leupolds on them. Best combo I've ever put in my hands. There is a reason the military used them.
My first Nutnfancy video, damn great review, commentary examples... Everything! Thanks for spending the time in doing what you enjoy and showing us all what you have experienced.
1:56 fart
Nice push.
I'm Army 11B and I'm trying to make an M24. I found out that Remington sells them to civies, but they only make them in batches due to the hand crafting required.
If you want an M40 and money isn't an issue, start with the action and build up.
For me money is an issue, so I'm going with the 700 SPS Tactical in .308cal. It only has a 20" barrel, but it's the closest on a budget.
I took an 8 point at 872 yards last December with my Rem 700 BDL .30-06 and my handloads. It is a superbly accurate rifle for the money, I did accurize it somewhat with a B&C match stock which I had the bed glassed and the barrel floated, but it still has the stock barrel and the stock trigger, which has been adjusted down to a perfect 2 pounds. You can spend a lot more for a rifle but you are going to be hard pressed to get better accuracy worth the extra bucks. 1 hole, 3 round groups are easy.
I snagged one of these at a local government gun buyback from some hipster for $250. Love it so far.
Yes!! I got my high-quality TNP fix...Awesome breakdown Nutnfancy on these two models of the Remington 700. We'll enjoy all these vids for years to come. Props, Yo!! _M11
I just got a Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .308 last Christmas for deer/Hog hunting... It is amazing I am in Georgia, My average shot will be from 85 to 140 yards because of trees. So I put a Leupold VX1 and the setup is amazing, I love it!!!
vx1 is probably the best scope for the money. I bought the vx2 and should have just got the vx1. can't tell the difference in the field
Another awesome video from TNP, thanks for your willingness to bring us the facts.
No kidding! I gotta pick up an SPS for long range precision shooting.
I have several M700s and never a problem. My favorites are the 300 win mag sniper and the 7mm ultra mag which actually kicks more than a 300 win mag. The 7mm ultra mag is a 1000 yard rifle easy. Especially using scirroco rounds from remington
Just built my first rifle! 700 SPS-V in .223. Its excellent!
Nutnfancy, long time sub here. Just want to compliment you on your precision in handling firearms. Great accuracy and knowledge. It is nice to see you work. Thank you.
I have a 700 Classic in .257 Roberts that my Dad bought in the early 80s. What a great rifle.
Awesome timing! I was going to pick up the SPS tactical in .223 this evening so finding this vid in my inbox this morning was a quite surprise. I would definitely like to see additional reviews on bolt rifles, including other Remingtons, Savage, Tikka, etc.
LOVE THE BOLT GUNS! MORE NUTN! NEED TO SEE SOME MORE! LOVE IT! We all would love to see more bolt guns and continue to see the budget minded models. I think that everyone would love to see some more vids like that. Love that you reviewed these specific models. Can't wait to see some more come along and get reviewed. Thanks for the vid.
Great Review Nutn! I always enjoy the thorough work you do, keep it up!
I just order a Remington 700 Custom Deluxe BDL in 7mm Rem Mag yesterday! Can't wait to get it.
Picked up the SPS for $350 after rebate on black friday. But being a Christmas present, I have to wait patiently to shoot it. This video makes that a lot tougher, but it gives a lot to look forward to. Can't wait.
This and MAC are my new favorite channels on youtube.
Had a SPS in 308 for about a year now , free floated the barrel and bedded the stock with a bed rock kit from Midway USA, topped with a vortex scope, shooting under and inch at 100 yards, haven't pushed it any further yet cause I dont have a longer range but loving it so far
I have a Left Handed 700 SPS in .308 with a Redfield 4-12 x40. LOVE IT. Special ordered it from my local box store about 3 years ago, it was ~$620. At the time (Haven't checked lately) it was the only option for a Left Hand 700 in .308. Took it hunting the next year, man it was heavy to shelp around. 26inches is long for hunting! I recently shot one like from your childhood, 700 wood stock hunting rifle, 30-06. That rifle is SO much lighter. Very nice gun, but like you said different POU
My understanding is that ADL is the simplest (lowest) grade Remington 700. All of the metal in an ADL is the same Remington 700 action/trigger barrel/quality that we know and love. The ADL will have the fewest frills-I.E. no hinged floor plate (you get a blind magazine instead) no pillar bedding, and hunter profile barrels (vs a bull barrel) Some of the SPS (Special Purpose Synthetic-I think) will begin to have more extras that are missing in an ADL. CDL comes with the most high quality extras.
NO I just finished the SPR vid. Now I have to stay up and watch this too! Nutn, you're killing me.
Man, mine was a steal......I bought my older remington 700 30-06 bolt for $200. nothing fancy on the scope. I put 5, 180gr core-lokt psp rounds in a quarter at 200yds all day(in the field, not the range), if it kills elk in one shot, its my kind of gun. ive shot 220's through it. I dont shoot my elk past 300yds. i love this gun, its a proven weapon. great video.
Because his purpose is to provide as much information as possible to those who are seriously interested in this type of product. There are many others out there whose purpose is to make a 3 minute video shooting stuff to a thumping, techno soundtrack. Look them up.
The Remington 700 ADL is a good gun. I am a big Remington fan, I own 12 remington 700 BDLs, seven of which are from the custom shop that cost about 900 bucks a piece. But if your looking for a first rifle, go with a savage axis (450$). I just bought one here not to long ago and from experience, it will hang with my BDLs with the right scope, i am very impressed with it. Go with a savage axis, its a very reliable gun, and you can't beat it for the price.
I have been able to find remington 700's go for around $500 in my area. I have yet to own one for myself but I have fired it before and it is by far a favorite of mine when it comes to bolt action rifles. The weight and handling of the weapon makes it a very comfortable rifle to shoot.
WOW! Thanks for making these reviews. I'm sure you get a lot of kudos from a lot of people but my profession is to make sure the internet works for everyone in north america which means the world so I spend a lot of time on a computer. I watch a lot of youtube videos while working on code and I have to say you do it right man. THANKS!
Damn you Nutnfancy!!! I'm trying to save my pennies to buy a Remington 700 sps varmint and you have just increased its demand and as a result more than likely made it more expensive!
The STANDARD, non-AAC SPS Tactical has the same dual point pillar bedding and stock as the AAC, just no threading. Thought that was the standard SPS tactical you were comparing vs. the AAC. They ARE free floated but when you lay the rifle on bags, or bi-pod it is no longer free floated!! I have a friend with a SPS Tactical and it's barrel starts touching the stock once it has much weight on one point, but they are a GREAT RIFLE! SPS AAC here I come and yes, I'll have the stock bedded/swapped!
That review has been in the works for a long time
Sweet review Nutnfancy! I love how much effort you put into each review. Love the bolt guns! Keep up the good work!
You are like the best reviewer I've ever had the pleasure to watch!!!
Really love the sceneries as well (just beautiful. I could watch it all day) - Thanks alot for sharing ! We appreciate the information & feedback. Take care !
I have 2 700's 1 in .30-06 and one in .300 WinMag and they are superb. I love em.
Great videos, please keep it up! I own the R 700 5r milspec, and didm' like the bolt knob either...... until i bought the KRG BOLT LIFT. Changes the entire feel of the action, absolutely no wobble or play when attached, saves time and money, no gunsmith needed, best $28 I've spent in a while. I strongly recommend and i think it looks good on the rifle as well.
FINALLY!! I love bolt gun reviews and the shooting! Nutn, outstanding. Cant wait for the Weatherby Vanguard Review!!
Thanks Nutn, I have had my SPS Varmint for over a year now. Not the lightest rifle out there but the accuracy has been devastating to predators. I have had the same issues with the feeding. Still a great rifle. Got mine for around $500 after the rebate.
I have to say that I bought a Rem 700 (.308) for under $500 before adding a scope. It has touched targets well beyond 1,000 yards.
Purchased my Remington 700 300 win mag for $525 out the door yes pre-owned but I love it so much potential.
If your talkin about the guy layin prone and touchin the bolt and it goin off. Rem asked to look at that gun and was denied but as the looked at many others and found gunsmithed hair triggers and self gunsmithed triggers and adjusted triggers that where past Rem's defined safety pressure and sear size. Meaning that they modified the gun past its safety measure and made the gun themselves unsafe another thing was found that most of the guns bolt and triggers werent cared for properly.
Thanks for this review! I've been waiting for it!
Keep it up Nutn! Always appreciate your time and effort!
I have the AAC model and I opened up the barrel channel in the stock for more clearance. On a good day I can shoot 3/4 MOA with 168gr A-max. Excellent bang for the buck
Awesome video! I just picked one up as my first center fire rifle. Rem 700 BDL in 7mm Rem Mag. Loving it!
it certainly is. the .270 is a great deer cartridge, and is adequate for elk with the right bullet. IMHO the .30-06 would be my minimum standard elk round but the .270 will definitely work if you're shooting quality ammunition and you put the bullet in the right place.
ABOUT DAMN TIME!!!!! I just bought mine from Gander MT for $650 its a .308 bull 26" barrel with scope, case, and sling
Hey Nutnfancy I bought a 700 sps yesterday because of this video
you can not go wrong with the marlin xl7 for a first hunting rifle. I own one in .270 win. Get 5 shots groups at 100 yards that a quarter would cover. Have hit pop cans at 300. A very accurate gun, Remington now manufactures them. The xl7 weighs 6.5 lbs bare. Great recoil pad. pro fire trigger (like savage accutrigger), it is adjustable. Mine is about 3 lbs and very crisp, pillar bedded stock, fluted bolt, target crown barrel.
can't go wrong for $400. Shoots just as good as my ruger 7mm RM m77
I have the sps in the 26" barrel and I love it. Less than 150 rounds through it, and shooting great. Love the review Nuntn
Nutn, you need to do more tabletops on high value optics. Awesome review on an awesome rifle. Keep doing what you do, you're the best out there.
keep it up! These gun review videos are awesome! Thank you :D
I love my 700 SPS Varmint in 308. Paid $550 and couldnt be happier.
Just ordered the 700 SPS Tact in .308 w/ 16.5" threaded barrel.
that first shot in the video was like a flash-bang lol
Love it! Have been waiting for this review for a bit but WELL worth it. Keep em comin nutn!
Great vid. I've owned 700's for the better part of twenty years and they are fantastic shooters. Keep up the great work!
I one of these in .223 with a Leopold zoom scope. At 100 yards it is no fun as the rounds keep going in the same hole. I need to go out to the desert to find a long range area to do some serious shooting. Good job NF....great gun as I love mine
I agree with this statement. The 700's are great guns. I have several of them. But, the new vanguards are damn good rifles and the price point on them is awesome. 300 win mag vanguard with sightron sIII scope, and for $1000 total on the setup you have a great "budget" long range rifle assuming you're comfortable with the 300 win mag recoil.
