The VLS (Varmint Laminated Stock) configuration centers on precision-minded features. Its 26-inch heavy/varmint-contour carbon steel barrel is free of iron sights and finished in blue, providing a stable, heat-resistant platform for consistent accuracy. The barrel carries factory markings “REMINGTON ARMS COMPANY, INC. ILION, N.Y. U.S.A.” and “.223 REM.”
Chambered in .223 Rem with a 1:12 RH twist, this Model 700 uses an internal box magazine with a hinged floorplate, offering 5-round capacity per factory specification (5+1 overall). It employs the proven right-hand Model 700 bolt action and a two-position safety.
The laminated hardwood stock is purpose-built: Monte Carlo comb with cheekpiece for a solid cheek weld, beavertail fore-end for bench stability, cut checkering for grip, a black contrasting fore-end tip, and a rubber recoil pad. QD sling studs are fitted, and a checkered pistol grip enhances control.
Overall length is approximately 45.75 inches and weight is approximately 9.375 pounds (factory references). The receiver is carbon steel with a blued finish to match the barrel. Two-piece Weaver-style scope bases are installed to simplify optic setup, and a camo-pattern sling with QD swivels is included.
