The Remington 700 Long Range in 6.5 Creedmoor is a bolt-action rifle built around the 700 platform's proven action, dressed in Black Cerakote with an HS Precision synthetic stock. The 26" heavy barrel and 1-in-8" twist rate are well-matched to the long, high-BC bullets that make 6.5 Creedmoor effective at distance. At 8.5 lbs., this isn't a lightweight carry rifle. It's set up for the bench or a stable field position. Threaded barrel for suppressor or muzzle brake attachment. 4+1 capacity.

Features 

The 26" barrel gives 6.5 Creedmoor the velocity it needs for extended range work and keeps wind drift manageable. The 1-in-8" twist stabilizes heavier projectiles in the 140-grain range reliably. The HS Precision stock has an aluminum bedding block, which keeps the action consistently positioned against the stock under heat and humidity. The drilled and tapped receiver takes most standard scope bases without adapters. Two-position thumb safety operates positively without requiring a grip change.

The 700 Long Range in 6.5 Creedmoor gets a generally positive reception. The cartridge choice earns consistent praise. Flat trajectory, low recoil, and the 6.5 Creedmoor's reputation for accuracy at 800+ yards makes it a natural pairing with a heavy-barreled platform like this.

Accuracy out of the box is frequently noted as solid, with users reporting consistent sub-MOA groups when paired with quality ammunition. Build quality on the 700 platform is well-regarded. The action is smooth and the Cerakote finish holds up. Weight comes up as a recurring trade-off; 8.5 lbs. is comfortable on a bench or bipod but noticeable on longer carries.

The trigger divides opinion. Factory triggers on the 700 are functional but not exceptional, and a fair number of buyers mention swapping to an aftermarket unit. Quality control gets brought up occasionally. Most rifles come through without issues, but there are enough reports of trigger or bedding concerns to suggest it's worth a range session before trusting the rifle at distance. Aftermarket support for the 700 platform is extensive, so addressing those issues is generally straightforward.

Plenty to like here, but the factory trigger pull was extremely heavy.
