The Remington 700 Varmint SF (Stainless Fluted) in .17 Remington Fireball is a specialized ultra-velocity varmint platform. Introduced by Remington in 2007, the .17 Rem Fireball necks down the .221 Fireball case to .17 caliber, achieving 4,000+ fps with a 20-grain bullet. The fluted stainless barrel reduces weight while maximizing surface area for heat dissipation during rapid-fire varminting.
