The Remington 700 VS SF II (Varmint Synthetic Stainless Fluted) in .223 Remington features a fluted 26-inch stainless steel heavy barrel with black synthetic stock and a recoil pad. The stainless fluted barrel provides both corrosion resistance and reduced weight compared to a solid stainless heavy barrel, while the fluting improves heat dissipation during rapid varmint fire. The VS SF II is the premium varmint production model in the 700 line, competing directly with the Savage 12 FV series.
