- Remington 783 Varmint
The Varmint has a heavy profiled, button-rifled barrel. It’s free-floated and has a nonthreaded crowned muzzle. The Varmint models are chambered in .223 Rem., .22-250 Rem., .243 Win., 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 Win. Remington uses a drop-box, double-stacked magazine that sits flush with the bottom of the stock. Long, heavy barrels are favored by preci...
The rounded steel receiver is a push-feed, two-lug bolt design, but it isn’t a Model 700 clone. The port is smaller, and the bolt head has its own unique design. Another important difference is that the barrel interfaces with the receiver using a Savage-style barrel nut rather being shouldered to the receiver. Remington engineers chose this with ma...
Getting back to the bolt design, the 783 series uses a Savage-style floating bolt head that is pinned to the body. The advantage to a floating bolt head is that the play in the bolt head allows the lugs to adjust themselves to bear evenly against the receiver recess, even when the surface is not perfectly trued. This makes for solid lockup of the b...
The barreled action sits in a wood-laminate stock. The stock is not just a cosmetic upgrade; Remington chose a laminate stock for its durability and stability. The stock is made from Birch and has a natural satin finish and is a blend of classic and modern designs. The buttstock is a traditional design, but the forend is a modern beavertail and is...
If you’re familiar with Marlin’s X7 Pro-Fire trigger, you’ll recognize the Varmint’s Crossfire trigger. The Crossfire trigger was brought over from Marlin after they discontinued the X7 line. Like other triggers in this vein, the blade is a passive safety and prevents the sear from dropping unless depressed. This feature also makes a trigger with l...
Flipping the rifle over to expose its belly shows where Remington saves you money. They have done away with bottom metal and replaced it with a plastic triggerguard that’s large enough to fit a gloved finger and a small metal magazine catch. The front takedown screw holds the metal magazine catch. The flush-mounted box magazine holds four to five c...

Sep 26, 2019 · This Model 783 was chambered in .223 Remington with a 1:9 twist rate which is actually pretty interesting. It’s interesting because on the Model 700 counterpart to this rifle, they too offer a 26” .223 barrel, but it has a 1:12 twist that is optimized for lighter 40-55 grain bullets.

Jan 20, 2013 · I got to tell you the Remington 783 felt the best and the Bolt Action was extremely smooth verses the others and the mag was all metal and went in very nice verses the other non metal ones on the other two rifles.
May 18, 2020 · The rifle is also offered chambered for .223 Remington, .22-250, 6.5 Creedmoor, and .308 Winchester. My test rifle weighed 9 pounds, 9.3 ounces. Utilizing the factory-installed Picatinny rail to attach an old faithful Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24X scope increased heft to just over 11 pounds.
