Hi RemingtonOwners,
My first post, thank you in advance for any constructive feedback you can offer to my question.

I am stumped on choosing a Remington 700 and I'm looking for some more experienced input.

Caliber and use: .308 win. I have other rifles in .308 so I am wanting to keep with .308 to keep the ammunition needs consistent and affordable. I am looking for a light weight and portable hunting rifle solution among these three choices.

Choices:
Model / Barrel Length / Twist / Barrel Material / Finish / Stock / Weight

700 Mountain SS / 22" / 10" / 416 Stainless / Stainless / Bell & Carlson Aramid Fiber / 6 1/2lb


700 VTR / 22" / 10" / Carbon Steel / Matte Blue / Synthetic w/Hogue Overmold Grip / 7 5/8lb


700 VTR SS / 22" / 10" / 416 Stainless / Matte Blue / Synthetic w/Hogue Overmold Grip / 7 5/8lb


They are all very similar and within a $150 of each other.
The VTRs come with a pick rail on top and a bipod as well as heavy triangular contour barrel with integrated muzzle break
The Mountain is 1 1/8lb lighter

I am set on Remington 700 and I am not wanting to build a rifle. I want to run it right out of the box.

Thank you for your help!
Brian

Note,
I am uncertain if the 1-1/8lb difference is due to the pic rail and bipod.

Welcome to the Remington Owners Forum AZ308 !!

I like the look of the 700 VTR SS ( third one down).

My .308 VTR has been absolutely awesome. I upgraded the scope and can maintain 1" 5 shot groups at 100m. The trigger is also great. Light pull and very clean break.
