The Remington 700 Classic in .250 Savage honored the cartridge that Charles Newton designed for Savage in 1915 — one of the first commercial cartridges to achieve 3000 fps. The Classic series straight-comb walnut and satin blued finish gave the .250 Savage a dignified production run decades after the cartridge had largely been replaced by .243 Win and .257 Roberts. Annual production runs were limited, making this a scarce and collected Classic variant.
