Help Center

If you are concerned that your gun is involved in a recall we would suggest that you review the information found in our Safety Center.

If you still have questions after review of this information please do not hesitate to contact us at 1-800-243-9700 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m., EST, Monday through Friday and one of our representatives will be happy to assist you with your concerns.  Please have the Model number and serial number available when calling.

Most repairs take approximately 4-6 weeks depending on the season, availability of parts, and what type of work you are having done. Rebluing, refinishing, and other work take a little longer than standard repairs.

A Service Request Number is now required on all firearms coming in for repair.  Please call us at 1-800-243-9700 M-F 9am-5pm EST to obtain your SR number.  You can find more details about this on the Repair Services page on our website.

Twist imparts spin on a bullet which dramatically improves its stability in flight. For example, if a barrel has a twist rate of 1 in 9”, then the rifling would complete 1 full revolution in 9 inches.

Heavier bullet weights in a given caliber require more twist. More twist is indicated by a lower number- 1 in 9 has more twist than 1 in 12.

Firearm manufacturers select twist rates for their guns which effectively stabilize most popular bullet weights for that caliber. If bullets are used in a given firearm that are on the extreme ends bullet weight for its caliber accuracy of the firearm may be effected.

To manufacture our button rifled barrels, stock metal is cut down and drilled with a mandrill with reverse rifling which cuts out the lands and grooves of the rifling.

This mandrill is pushed through the barrel. This process is used for our Custom Shop Model 40-X and Model 40-XR rifles, the Model 504, Model 597, and Model 710 rifles.

Our hammer forged barrels start with cylindrical metal which is hammered around the mandrill. Although this process somewhat stresses the metal, the barrel is heat treated to relieve this stress. This process is used for our standard production rifles & shotguns.

No. 

The 17HMR is a rimfire cartridge and is chambered for specific rimfire rifles. It ignites by the firing pin hitting the rim of the cartridge. This ammunition is NOT interchangeable with the .17 caliber centerfire rifle where the firing pin will contact the center of the cartridge for ignition. Always be sure to check any ammunition for correct caliber or gauge before using in your firearms.

The bolt on the Model 710/770 is not like a conventional bolt action rifle. For the last 100 plus years, bolt action rifles have all basically been made the same way; the locking lugs on the bolt lock up into the receiver, while the barrel is screwed on. The Model 710/770 is a completely new way of thinking. The bolt locks directly into the barrel, and the barrel is hydraulically pressed into the receiver. Also, there are three locking lugs instead of two. This gives the rifle exceptional strength and accuracy.

Since the bolt locks into the barrel, the receiver now simply guides the bolt. The receiver of the Model 710/770 has a self lubricating synthetic insert to guide the bolt into the barrel. With this insert, and the three locking lugs, there is a completely different feel. When pushing the bolt forward, there is a different feeling than on the Model 700 or Model Seven. This is because of the contact of the metal bolt and the synthetic insert and is normal. The "feel" is different, but the quality and performance of Remington is still there.

Instructions on sight adjustment can be found in your owner's manual. We recommend starting at a range of 25-30 yards for initial sighting in. In order to adjust the sights on your firearm, move the rear sight in the same direction as you need to move the bullet on the target. There is a windage and elevation screw that should be loosened to make the following adjustments.

 

Depending on the model of firearm, the warranty may be either two years or one year.  To view our complete firearms warranty information, please go to the SUPPORT section of our site.

With the hundreds of different models produced over the past 200 years, it can sometimes be difficult to determine the age of your firearm. 

Since serial numbers were not required until 1968, your firearm may not have a serial number.  For models without a serial number, we may be able to determine the age by the 2-3 letters that are stamped on the barrel.  If your firearm does have a serial number, if you will call or email us the serial number and model number we can determine the approximate age of your firearm.

The heart of Remington law enforcement rifles is the legendary Model 700 action. It's what makes our handbuilt Model 40-XB rifles so accurate and rock-solid dependable.

The foundation of the Model 700 action is its unique bolt design. The bolt face, barrel, and receiver surround and support the cartridge head with three overlapping rings of solid steel. The Model 700 receiver is machined from a solid block of ordnance-grade steel, then drilled and tapped for scope mounts. All of our standard Model 700 Police rifles have heavy, free-floating 26" barrels crowned at the muzzle for unparalleled accuracy and stability.

The Model 700P LTR features a fluted 20" barrel and is 1 1/2lbs. lighter than the standard 26" version. In the .223 Remington chambering, the twist has been changed from 1 in 12" to 1 in 9" in order to maximize the ballistic stability of heavier bullets. Model 700P's have a three to five-shot magazine capacity depending on the caliber and hinged floor plates.

Both the standard Model 700P and the Tactical Weapon System feature composite stocks reinforced with DuPont Kevlar and fiberglass. They'll stay dimensionally stable in any weather and under the worst tactical situations.

The stock is laid up around an aircraft-grade aluminum bedding block that runs the full length of the receiver. It has a textured, black, non-reflective finish and comes with sling swivel studs.

The TWS package includes a Leupold Vari-X III (3.5 x 10) scope with a Duplex reticle and flip-open lens covers. A Harris bi-pod, a Michaels 1" Quick-Adjust sling with swivels, a rugged Pelican hard case.  

The Model 700P LTR (Light Tactical Rifle), chambered for .308 Win., features a hinged floorplate and slimmed down stock. The flutes in the 20" LTR not only assist in weight reduction and heat dissipation, but are engineered to enhance barrel rigidity for pinpoint accuracy.

There are a number of resources that provide complete specifications and dimensions of rifle calibers.  

The Sporting Arms and Ammunition Manufacturers' Institute (SAAMI) is an association of the nation's leading manufacturers of firearms, ammunition and components. SAAMI was founded in 1926 at the request of the federal government and tasked with:

• Creating and publishing industry standards for safety, interchangeability, reliability and quality
• Coordinating technical data
• Promoting safe and responsible firearms use  

Cartridges of the World by Frank C. Barnes is another excellent resource for detailed information on cartridges, history, and dimensions. 

While it is impossible to list all of the calibers produced, the following is a brief listing of calibers that Remington offers categorized according to Short Action, Short Action Magnum, Long Action, and Long Action Magnum:

The Model 722 was discontinued in 1962.  However, 6mm Remington and .244 Remington ammunition are interchangeable. Remington initially chambered.244 Remington caliber rifles with a 1:12 rate of twist which is commonly used to stabilize the lighter bullets. If your rifle is marked: .244 Remington, you may not achieve superior accuracy with bullets over 100 grains.

If parts are in stock, you should receive your order within 7-10 business days from the time we process your order.

There are a number of differences between the Model 750 and Model 7400.

On the Model 750, the gas orifice hole is drilled at a 45 degree angle, instead of a 90 degree like the Model 740, Model 742 and Model 7400. This does 2 things; it eliminates the 90 degree turn at the gas port, and it eliminates shaving off copper in the bore from the projectile. The copper shavings in the gas port of the Model 7400 would build up over time, and cause the gun to not cycle reliably.

The gas block on the barrel has been moved rearward and therefore the gas orifice hole has been moved rearward. Moving the gas hole back we can capture the gases sooner, and under greater pressure. This will greatly increase reliability by giving more consistent bolt velocities, as well as allow us to offer carbine models in calibers not possible in the Model 7400.

The barrel extension is now made as a cast part instead of a machined part. By casting, we can better control internal geometries, and eliminate machining burrs. This again, translates into better reliability.

We have added a nickel/Teflon coating to the bolt head. This allows the bolt to move and cam into place more freely.

Since the gas system is greatly improved, we can now use the R3 pad, and not have to worry about functionality.

We lowered the drop at the comb so that you can use the rifle sights easily.

On cartridges such as the .30-30 Win., the name is derived from the traditional black powder loading using a 30-caliber bullet and the 30-grains of powder.

This is really an older way of describing a caliber based on blackpowder. Thus, the .30-40 Krag was a 30-caliber bullet propelled by the original 40-grains of black powder load.

The "-08" in 7mm-08 Rem refers to the .308 Win case on which the cartridge was based.

The .30-06 Springfield is a different story altogether. The "-06" reflects the date of adoption by the United States military. So there is no one definitive answer for every cartridge.

The cut of the receivers and the different barrel contours will not allow you to interchange stocks between the Model Seven and Model 700.

The exact barrel life of any given Remington barrel is almost impossible to predict. However, if standard, U.S. made factory loaded ammunition is used, and the barrel is properly cleaned after every use, one can expect to get anywhere from 2500 to 6000 rounds, before you will start to see your groups open up. The best thing to do is to keep a detailed record of rounds fired, and average group sizes. Once you start to see the groups open up, you can send the gun in to us for evaluation. Please understand that we are only referring to Remington production rifles, and we do not have a barrel life guarantee.

The XR-100 and 40XB stocks do not interchange.

Using the Model 700 and a scope set-up that adds one pound, gun weight for comparing the .300 Ultra Mag to the other .300's would run at 8 1/2 pounds. Using a computer program that takes the powder charge into account and an 8 1/2 pound gun for each test, the recoil energy is as follows:

.300 Win. Mag--180 grain bullet @ 2960 FPS--Recoil: 31.0 Ft-lbs
.300 Wby. Mag--180 grain bullet @ 3120 FPS--Recoil: 38.4 Ft-lbs
.300 Ultra Mag--180 grain bullet @ 3250 FPS--Recoil: 46.3 Ft-lbs

The Model XR-100 is based off of the obsolete Model XP100. The Model 7 base interchanges with the Modle XR-100.

Brownell's offers a variety of bases. Their web address is: www.brownells.com

When you order a Model 700 ML (produced 1996-2004) bolt assembly, you will receive the bolt body (the bolt with the handle attached).

Thank you for your interest in Remington! Most dealers do not purchase direct from Remington, they order through wholesalers and distributors.

We have a Retail Locator on our site which is a list of dealers that carry Remington products. This should assist you with finding Remington products in your area. This is an ever growing list and does not include every dealer.   You can find this dealer locator HERE 

You can also find some of our products at Walmart, Bass Pro Shops, Cabelas, and your local sporting goods store. If you do not see your local dealer on this list, please have them log on to the Partner section of our website so we can include them as well.

A general rule you can use follows.

For deer, antelope, sheep and goat we recommend at point of impact that you have 900 ft lbs minimum, 1200 ft lbs is suggested as adequate and 1500 ft lbs is the best for a humane kill.
For Elk or bear up to 600 lbs: minimum is 1500 ft lbs, adequate is 2000 ft lbs and preferred is 2500 ft lbs.
For large bear or moose: 2100 ft lbs minimum, 2800 ft lbs adequate and 3500 ft lbs is best.

You can view ballistics on the loads we offer in our online catalog at www.remington.com.

The Model XR-100 is based off of the obsolete Model XP100. The Model 7 base interchanges with the Modle XR-100.

We ask that Remington Law Enforcement Distributors sell these models to law enforcement and government agencies. We want to ensure that we are meeting the needs of government and law enforcement agencies for tactical models. You may find some dealers will sell them to civilians if they have a good supply however we do not offer a list of L.E. dealers.

Special licensing is required for some LE models. 

You can also find some of our products at Walmart, Bass Pro Shops, Cabelas, and your local sporting goods store. If you do not see your local dealer on this list, please have them log on to the Partner section of our website so we can include them as well.

A lot of our early rifles do not have serial numbers. Before 1968 it was not mandatory for us to use serial numbers. To check the rifles manufacturing date, we would use the barrel code. The barrel code is a series of 2-3 letters found on the barrel close to the receiver, on the left hand side. If you contact us at 1-800-243-9700 or Contact us with the model of your firearm and 2-3 barrel code, we can determine the date of manufacture.

There are many variables that play a part in determining which scope is best for your needs. Are you using a rifle or shotgun? What caliber or gauge will you be using? What types of terrain and distances will you be hunting at?

For assistance with your specific scope and scope mounting needs, please contact one of the scope manufacturers to find out which scopes and mounts will fit your situation. For your convenience we have included some web sites that you may wish to visit:

www.leupold.com
www.burrisoptics.com
www.bushnell.com

The information that is presented in our rifle ammunition ballistics chart was gathered by testing our ammunition in near perfect conditions at a consistent low humidity temperature of 68°F. Our tests are conducted in an enclosed area, with a 24" test barrel in most cases, with the barreled action locked into a vice. Other factors including: the amount of wear and interior barrel dimensions in your firearm and the outside temperature effect the velocity obtained with your ammunition. As a result, your calculations may vary from what we have on our ballistics chart.

A brief listing of Remington Centerfire Rifles and their manufacture dates in one concise list. 

Produced from 1993-1997. Designed with unique safety and functional features, the Viper is ideal for hunting, plinking, or target shooting use by youngsters and adults. The strong, lightweight synthetic stock is textured and checkered for good control with a slim pistol grip and semi-beavertail fore-end that fits shooters of all ages. Its strong synthetic receiver is topped with a grooved scope-mounting rail, and the barrel is equipped with adjustable, centerfire-type iron sights. Furnished with 10 round magazine clip.

Remington Model 788 was produced from 1967-1983. Moderately priced, bolt action rifle commonly referred to as "Remington’s budget tackdriver".

The Model 673 which was offered from 2003-2004 was only offered in certain short action and short action magnum calibers.

The Model 673 uses a short action platform that will not accommodate the long action calibers.  

The Model 673 will accept scope mounts. The scope base is a standard Model Seven scope base. (post 1999 with the 4 holes) Use a small compact scope with medium rings. You can use a 1 piece or a 2 piece base.The screws used in the vent rib on the Model 673 are 6/48 and the Model 700 or Model Seven receiver plug screws will work.

You have two options:

1. Use standard 30-06 Sprg 180-gr CoreLokt ammunition and simply tell the system you are using the CoreLokt Ultra Bonded product.
2. You can also use the new HyperSonic® Rifle 30-06 SPRG 180-gr ammunition, but this is a little more involved:
   1. Power the optic ON.
   2. Wait for the optic to completely boot – about 4 - 7 seconds.
   3. Press <MODE> once to switch the optic to advanced operating mode.
   4. Press AND HOLD <MODE> for about 7 – 10 seconds.  After 3-4 seconds, the “HUD Console” will appear – DO NOT RELEASE THE MODE BUTTON.  After an additional ~5 seconds, and “Advanced HUD Console” will appear.
   5. Using the zoom out button, go down through the list of items until you reach MUZZLE ADJUST.  Using the wind rocker, increment the velocity to < 130 FPS >.
   6. Press <MODE> to exit the HUD Console.
   7. Remember to set the ammunition type to CLK in the HUD Console!
   8. NOTE:  This setting will be saved (even through powering off and back on) and will apply to all ammunition types.  So if you switch the Barnes load, you will need to set it back to < 0 FPS >.

The Model 700ML was an in-line black powder rifle based on the Model 700 short action receiver produced from 1996-2004. With this muzzleloader, we have received our best results on average using 90-grains of Pyrodex Select and about a 300 grain sabot. However, as with any muzzleloader, you will have to experiment to find which load will provide you with your best performance. This generally provides a good starting point. While the pellets are compatible, we have found our best performance to come with granular powder. Also, we would recommend swabbing the barrel in between each shot with a pre-lubed Remington cleaning patch to help minimize fouling and further season the barrel.

While the Remington Model 700 muzzleloader, can use up to three 50-gr. (150-gr. total) Pyrodex Pellets, or 150 grains of 2F black or Pyrodex powder, we have found our best results came with 90 to 120 grains of the granular blackpowder or equivalent.

Due to the many variables involved with valuation, we would encourage you to refer to the many publications that are available on the subject of gun values or have it appraised by a collector. Many of these books are available through public libraries or local bookstores. For your convenience we have provided a listing of the more popular books:

Remington introduced the Model 591 and Model 592, along with 5mm Remington rimfire ammunition in 1970. We believed that the 5mm cartridge, with a velocity of 2105 feet per second, was superior to the .22 Win. Mag cartridge with a velocity of 1910 feet per second. Unfortunately, we were unable to convince the shooting public. Therefore, we chose to discontinue manufacturing the Model 591 and Model 592 in 1974. Manufacturing of the 5mm ammunition was discontinued in 1982.

Additionally, Aguilla, a Mexico based ammunition manufacturer is now producing 5mm Remington Magnum ammo. It will be marketed in the U.S. under the Centurion name.

On the Model XR-100 the laminated thumbhole stock features a vented beavertail fore-end for faster barrel cooling.

Many rimfire bullets are made of lead. Because lead bullets are soft they have a tendency to strip or rub off some of their outer material as they travel down the barrel. Depending on the condition of the firearm's bore, this “lead fouling” will degrade accuracy after a certain number of shots and must be removed from the barrel in order to restore optimum performance. Most ammunition manufacturers apply a wax-like coating to the bullet which reduces the amount of lead deposited into the bore of the firearm as each shot is fired. This wax lubricant can also assist the feeding of the bullet from the magazine into the chamber in some semi-auto firearms. The build-up of wax lubricant and lead in the firearm's barrel can usually be removed with Remington's Bore Cleaner™ or Brite Bore™ products. Rem™Action Cleaner can be used to remove wax build up in magazines and the action of rimfire firearms. You can find many of these cleaning products through your local dealer or through our online store at https://www.remington.com/shop/

Another means of reducing lead fouling in rimfire guns is achieved by applying a very thin layer of copper or brass plating to the bullet. This plating process is usually applied to high velocity rimfire ammunition because lead fouling in the barrel increases as velocity of the ammunition increases.

This is a version of the Model 541 that was discontinued in 1984. It featured an engraved receiver, trigger guard and high gloss walnut stock. The letter "S" stands for Sporter.

The PR3030A Accelerator bullet is designed with an exposed lead tip, in a configuration that is a bit more blunt than a typical .22 cal psp bullet. The geometry of the bullet tip combined with the fact that the recoil level of this round in a 30-30 rifle is very low; makes this round safe to shoot in rifles with tubular magazines.

The Model 760 Gamemaster is a pump action centerfire rifle produced from 1952-1981.
