In 1962 Remington unleashed the model 700 and with it the 7mm Remington Magnum. Both have left a mark on hunters and shooters that history will never rub away. The 700 is probably the most used bolt action rifle in the world and the 7mm Magnum is one of the most worldly cartridges.
Remington is celebrating this 50 year anniversary with a very distinct Remington 700.
2012 Limited Offering Model 700 BDL in 7mm Remington Magnum
Satin Finish “B” Grade Walnut with Cut Fleur-di-Lis Checkering
Satin Blue Carbon Steel 24” Barreled Action
Black Vented Recoil Pad
White Line Spacers on Recoil Pad, Grip Cap, and Fore End Tip
Commemorative Laser Engraved Hinged Floorplate
X-Mark Pro® Externally Adjustable Trigger at 3 ½ Pounds
MSRP – $1399 Order Number – 84063
If that were not enough, there will be a special model 700 CDL too which will retail for about $ 200 less.
As cool as these two commemerative rifles are, I think my favorite new rifle from Remington is the stainless Mountain Rifle with the lightweight Bell & Carlson synthetic stock made with aramid fiber. Aramid fiber is a royalty free way to say Kevlar. The new Mountain Rifle has a price tag of $1123.47.

Thanks for the info. I am personally boycotting all things Remington until they start supporting their own 30 AR. New rifles are always nice to look at and hold though…
It just so happens – as you will see here on the 8th – I was assured they will soon be offering .30 Remington AR brass.
Hey gun writer, any idea if the SS Mountain Rifle will be offered in .260 or the SAUM’s?
Here is what is currently available:
• 84276 7mm-08 Remington
• 84277 308 Win
• 84272 25-06 Remington
• 84273 270 Win
• 84274 280 Remington
• 84275 30-06 SPRG
Crap, I had a bad feelin Big R would just slap a B&C on the Mountain LSS, atleast theyre on the right track. Do you know what the CDL SF LTD. will be chambered in this season?
7mm Rem Mag
I’m an ardent model 700 fan, but it just kills me that Remington won’t put out a stainless mountain rifle (or any rifle for that matter) in an 1/8″ twisted .260 Rem. They have one of the finest cartridges ever created there and won’t support it properly.
I just bought a used Mtn LSS in .260 with a 1/9 so I guess that will have to do. Would sure buy one of these new rifles on .260 if they were available…..

I WISH REMINGTON WOULD MAKE MORE RIFLES IN DETACHABLE MAGAZINE

I wish they would make a light weight compact model seven in a synthetic stainless.. They make different guns in the model 7 but they weight as much as a full size rifle taken away the benefit of a small gun.
Hey Gunwriter will the Mountain Rifle be made for leftys
According to Remington they have no plans for a lefty at this time. Sorry…
Hi Gunwriter, when will the Mountain Rifle SS be available in stores to purchase? Has Remington published a spec sheet for this rifle?
You should see them in stores by May or June. You can contact Remington for a 2012 catalog.
would love to see a 257 SA ultra mag in a CDL SF. Also to bring back the 8mm Remington mag in one of the 700 series.
Mountain rifles are made for hunting sheep and goats. Unless your in your 50′s and are tired of packing a 10 pound rifle. I live in north Idaho and killed a lot of elk with a 300 win and even more with an arrow. It took me a few years to figure out you can kill all the big game in the lower 48′s with a 25-06 and a nosler bullet. I’ll have this little rifle as soon as It becomes avalible. I’ve never had a bad shooting 700.
wish they still chambered the 700 for .338 RUM with a 26 inch bull barrell and maybe a comp. wearing a bell and carlson stock.
