The Remington 700 Classic in 8mm Remington Magnum was produced during the Classic series run for the cartridge Remington introduced in 1978 to provide a Magnum Mauser equivalent in a standard action. The 8mm Rem Mag drives 220-grain 8mm bullets at 3000 fps — the most powerful standard 8mm load available. The Classic series honored the cartridge during its peak commercial period; the straight-comb walnut and satin blue presented it in its finest aesthetic expression.
