The Remington Model 700 is part of a series of bolt-action (later semi-automatic 7400 series) centerfire rifles manufactured by Remington Arms since 1962. It is a progressive variant of the Remington Model 721 and Model 722 rifles series, which was introduced in 1948. The M24 and M40 military sniper rifles, which are both based on the Model 700 design, are in use by the United States Army and United States Marine Corps, respectively.

The Remington 700 series rifles feature a 3, 4, or 5-round internal magazine depending on the caliber. Some models include a hinged floor plate for quick unloading and can also be configured with a detachable box magazine. The Model 700 is available in many different stock, barrel, and caliber combinations, with many third-party and aftermarket variants built on the same action footprint. From 1978 to 1982, Remington offered the Sportsman 78, which had the same Model 700 action but with lower-cost features, such as a plain, non-knurled stock.
