The Remington 700 VS SF (Varmint Stainless Fluted) in .22-250 Remington was the original factory stainless-fluted barrel varmint rifle, predating the VS SF II update. The VS SF's 26-inch fluted stainless barrel combined corrosion resistance, heat dissipation, and weight reduction in a varmint-specific package that established a template for factory precision varmint rifles. Extremely popular with prairie dog hunters who needed a platform capable of firing hundreds of rounds per day in open-country heat.
