The Remington 700 Classic in 6mm Remington honored the cartridge Remington introduced in 1963 as a performance upgrade to the .243 Winchester, offering a larger case capacity and slightly superior long-range ballistics. The Classic series straight-comb walnut and satin blue gave the 6mm Rem a traditional presentation at a time when the cartridge was losing market share to the .243 Win. Annual production was limited; examples in original condition are legitimately collected.
