The 20-inch sporter-taper barrel and blued metalwork keep the package trim and well-balanced. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope bases, and the rifle has no iron sights.
The laminated hardwood stock features a Monte Carlo cheekpiece and cut checkering for a stable cheek weld and positive grip. A rubber recoil pad and sling swivel studs round out the stock features. Length of pull is 13.5 inches.
Production of the Remington 799 ran for a short period in the mid-2000s, with this example reflecting that era. Markings include USSG – Rockledge, FL and Zastava – Serbia, underscoring its Serbian manufacture and import history.
