The short action is for cartridges less than 2.8 inches in overall length like the .308, the standard action for cartridges smaller than 3.34 inches in overall length like the .30-06 Springfield and .300 Winchester Magnum cartridge, and a long action for magnum calibers larger than 3.34inches like the .300 Remington Ultra Magnum. When purchasing this rifle, a buyer had the additional choice of magazine configuration. The first option was a blind magazine which has no floor plate, the second is a conventional magazine with detachable floor plate and finally, a detachable box magazine. There are standard consumer versions as well as versions designed for military and police use. Some variants come with bipods, slings, fluted barrels and other options.

Remington also produces a Mountain LSS version that is outfitted with a stainless steel barrel and laminated stock. Laminated stocks and heavy barrel versions like the Model 700 SPS varmint are available for varmint hunting and are extremely accurate.
In 1996 Remington began producing the 700 ML, which stood for muzzle loading rifle for the black powder enthusiasts.

Remington Model 700P - Police Version
The 2 models available in the 700P are the standard 700P with a heavy barrel and the 700P Light Tactical Rifle or LTR which has a heavy barrel that is 20 inches and fluted.

The police version (700P) is also available to the public and has enjoyed high sales numbers and the rifle is popular with shooters and hunters. Remington offers similarly styled, less expensive versions under the Special Purpose Synthetic or SPS package.
Model 700 – Military Versions
Remington makes versions of the 700 for both the US Army and the US Marines. Both the U.S. Army's M24 Sniper Weapon System and U.S. Marine Corps' M40 sniper rifles are built on the Remington Model 700 rifle design but with differing customizations, the main difference is the inclusion of a heavy contour barrel. The M24 uses the long action bolt-face, whereas the M40 uses the short action.
The U.S. Army XM2010 Version
The United States Army has awarded Remington a contract for the upgrade of up to 3,600 M24 Sniper Weapon System rifles which are currently in use with the Army. The biggest modification for this rifle is the caliber conversion from .308 Winchester to .300 Winchester Magnum, which will allow the military with additional range capability and better ballistics characteristics. The program will change the weapon name from M24E1 to the XM2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle.

Remington 700 Misfire issues

After CNBC ran a story about the Remington 700 misfiring, or firing without the trigger being pulled, a stir was caused in the shooting public. The truth of the matter is that according to the facts, there are only 75 lawsuits in total against Remington for this reason, and based on production numbers, 99.9985% function perfectly. With those numbers, could this really be a design flaw?. Furthermore, despite claims that the situation is easily reproduced, and hundreds of thousands of dollars being spent on experts, nobody has EVER been able to cause a Remington 700 to fire without the trigger being pulled, the cause of these suits may be a result of owners modifying incorrectly a factory 700.

Additionally, Remington no longer uses the Walker Trigger, which is the trigger that was claimed to be defective.
