A rifle with a scope on a cluttered workbench, surrounded by tools and screws. The rifle stock has a green camo pattern.

If you're looking for a highly accurate, reliable rifle for hunting or competitive shooting, you can't go wrong with a Remington 700. And when that rifle has been accurized by the experts at Redleg Co., you know you're getting a top-quality firearm that has been fine-tuned for precision and performance.

This particular Remington 700 has been chambered in the popular 22-250 Remington cartridge, which is well-known for its flat trajectory, long-range accuracy, and impressive stopping power. But what makes this rifle truly exceptional is the level of attention and customization that has gone into its design and construction.


What Accurizing a Remington 700 Actually Means


A factory Remington 700 is a good action held back by production tolerances. Accurizing removes them. Blueprinting means machining the receiver's critical surfaces true to the bore centerline: the receiver face, the lug seats, and the threads, so the barrel, bolt, and receiver all work on one axis instead of fighting each other. The epoxy sleeve stiffens the receiver, and the polished, tuned firing pin delivers consistent ignition, which shows up directly in velocity consistency and group size.

None of that work is visible from the outside. All of it is visible on the target.

First, the receiver has been blueprinted and epoxy sleeved, which means that it has been precisely machined to ensure a perfect fit with the other components of the rifle. The bolt has been trued up and the lugs have been lapped, which helps to ensure that the action operates smoothly and reliably.

The firing pin has been polished and tuned, which means that it strikes the primer with the perfect amount of force and prevents misfires or hang-ups. And the action has been bedded into the HS stock, which helps to improve accuracy and reduce recoil.

The jewel trigger is a high-end component that provides a crisp, consistent pull, and the scope - a Leupold VX-6 with a 4-24x52mm magnification - is mounted with Leupold rings and 1-piece base. The scope also features the CDS-TZL3 system, which allows the shooter to easily adjust the windage and elevation without having to remove the turret caps.

The rifle is all stainless, which makes it durable and resistant to rust or corrosion. And the stock has been cerakoted and features a competitor plus leather sling, which adds to its overall aesthetic appeal.

All in all, this Remington 700 accurized by Redleg Co. is a top-of-the-line firearm that is sure to impress any shooter. Whether you're using it for hunting or competitive shooting, you can count on this rifle to provide you with the accuracy, reliability, and performance you need to succeed.


Frequently Asked Questions

What is blueprinting on a Remington 700?

Machining the receiver's critical surfaces square and concentric to the bore centerline: receiver face, lug seats, and threads. Factory production leaves small misalignments in all three. Blueprinting removes them so the barrel and bolt lock up on a single axis, which is one of the highest-value accuracy operations you can do on a 700.

Is the 22-250 still a good coyote cartridge?

It has been flattening coyotes for seventy years and nothing about that has changed. It is fast, flat, and easy to shoot well. The newer 22 ARC brings modern case design and heavy-bullet options to the conversation, and we compare them head to head in the post linked below.

Can Redleg accurize my Remington 700?

Yes. Blueprinting, sleeving, trigger work, and ignition tuning are core shop work here. Every job is quoted individually against what your rifle needs, billed at our standard shop rates.
