Which Rem 700 Do I have

[DocRDS]

Many moons ago as a young man, I bought a Remington 700 (circa 2003). Life intervened via layoffs, kids, etc.. and it sat unused in the safe pending a decent scope. Now I have some funds stored up to get going started on precision rifle, i have no clue WTF this thing is (other than a Rem 700 in 308 w/ heavy barrel).

It has a polymer stock (non-wood/black) and heavy barrel. How do I know which model I have. Does it even really matter?

How long is the barrel? Can you post a pic? Sounds like an AAC.

An AAC in 2003? Must be a real remmy officiando to be able to tell from the description.

To the OP snap a pic or two would help make ID a snap. Especially of the
stock and left side near serial.

Looks like a 700P to me. Hard to tell though, call Remington with the serial number and they'll tell you what it is and when it was made.

It's a 700 VS (Varmint Synthetic). It has a H.S. Precision stock on it. It should be a fine shooter, have someone do a decent trigger job on it and rock on.

I used the same gun as the basis for my build. It shoots <1 moa with handloads. You can adjust the trigger to be fairly light and crisp. Instructions are available on the web. Mount a decent scope and you should have a shooter that will take you a while to outgrow.

Yep definately not an AAC. Sorry I offended you with my lesser knowledge/mistake.

black/grey stock is a VS, most likely if it was a solid black stock with 2 studs then would be police or a P

Re: Which Rem 700 Do I have

it will probably shoot the 168, 175 SMK's very, the 185vld Bergers too.

and yes, it's a 700VS...great guns that shoot well. Just spend some time developing a load and you'll have a good shooter.
