How To Determine The Value of My Remington 700?

While the value of Remington 700 rifles can vary widely, specific variants  in excellent condition tend to be the most valuable. Certain Remington 700 variants are particularly valuable due to their unique features, calibers, limited production runs, and historical significance. Here are some of the most sought-after Remington 700 models:

• Remington 700 ADL: The Model 700 ADL rifles were produced from 1962 through 2005 and feature checkered Monte Carlo style wood stocks, irons sights, and either a 20-, 22-, or 24-inch barrel depending on the caliber. Late production ADLs had a synthetic stock. The ADL is considered the base model 700 rifle. The 20-inch carbine models have a higher average value since very few were produced. Rifle models with a stainless steel barrel and chambered in .300 Win. Mag., .264 Win. Mag., and 7mm Rem. Mag. typically command a higher value than typical Remington 700 ADL variants.
• Remington 700 BDL: The Model 700 BDL has a higher quality finish and stock from the plain ADL model 700. Model 700 BDL rifles feature a high gloss Monte Carlo style wood stocks, irons sights or no sights, and chambered is a slew of calibers. The Remington Model 700 BDL is the custom deluxe variant of the Model 700. Some Remington 700 BDL rifles had factory engraving which can increase the value.
• Remington 700 Sendero: The Model 700 Sendero is designed for long range hunting with a heavy taper barrel and synthetic stock. Magnum calibers usually have a higher value than standard calibers.
• Remington 700 SPS: Consider the SPS variants of the Model 700 as the economy model. The SPS Model 700 rifles have less value than all the other variants. The Model 700 SPS (Special Purpose Synthetic) features a medium taper barrel and synthetic stock. The SPS Varmint is designed for varmint hunting and the 700 SPS Tactical is tactical style bolt-action rifle with a heavy taper barrel.
• Remington 700 Varmint SF: The SF stands for Stainless Fluted for the heavy contour barrel for long-range varmint hunting. Model 700 varmint rifles typically have a two or three letter suffix that describes the rifle’s features; VLS stands for Varmint Laminated Stock, VS stands for Varmint Synthetic, etc. 
• Remington 700 XCR: The XCR or Extreme Conditions Rifle are designed to be used in the harshest environments and feature corrosion resistant finishes and synthetic stocks. These rifles were produced from 2005 through 2020.
• Remington 700 CDL Classic: is a vintage variant that pays homage to the traditional styling of bolt-action rifles. These rifles often feature classic style, high-quality walnut stocks and fine checkering, making them prized by collectors for their classic aesthetics. Models of the Remington 700, such as those with unique chamberings or commemorative markings, can command premium prices among collectors due to their historical significance.
• Remington 700 Police/LE: The Police and Law Enforcement (LE) variants of the Remington 700 are highly valued for their ruggedness and accuracy. These rifles are often used by law enforcement agencies and are favored by precision shooters for their performance.
• Remington 700 Custom Shop Models: Remington’s Custom Shop produces limited-edition and customized variants of the Remington 700. These rifles feature premium components, hand-selected wood, and enhanced craftsmanship, making them highly collectible and valuable.

As with any collectible firearm, the condition of a Remington 700 significantly affects its value. Rifles in pristine condition with well-maintained finishes and original components tend to command higher prices. The more scratches and faded finish that becomes present on the gun from handling and usage can greatly diminish its value. The takeaway is that as the condition of the firearm worsens, the less it will be worth when re-sold. The value of Remington 700 rifles is also influenced by market demand, which can fluctuate over time due to various factors.
