This is a new limited edition model 700 that is chambered for the .260 Remington.
You can try to keep this limited edition rifle in the box, but one shot and it’ll be your big-game rifle of choice for life. Chambered for the accurate, flat-shooting 260 Remington,® the Model 700 CDL Stainless Fluted Ltd. is the ultimate embodiment of our world-famous action’s sleek lines, good looks and unrivaled out-of-the-box precision. The 260 Remington is an incredible all-around big-game cartridge. To commemorate its chambering in our newest limited edition rifle, the floorplate is intricately engraved with the cartridge and “260 Remington.â€
The rifle’s receiver is heavily roll marked with “Model 700 Limited.†To achieve optimum velocity, the magnum contour barrel is a full 24″.

Hi, welcome to my blog! This blog is dedicated to all things firearms related. I hope you enjoy it.
I am surprised that Remington has selected a 1-10 twist for this rifle whereas it is common knowledge that the 1 - 8.5 or 1 - 9 twist is superior, especially for the 140 gr bullets. The old Model seven with SS was 1 - 9 and was super.
Does anyone know if Remington is going to go to a 1 -9 ? If they did, I would buy one.
As of February 9, 2008, and perhaps earlier, Remington’s web site now states that the Model 700 SF in 260 Rem has a 9″ twist. That makes for a better long bullet rifle.

Hi Charlie, thanks for the update.
Today I talked with Remington and they confirmed that the twist is 1 in 9″
I bought one and it arrived today. It is beautiful and I will evaluate and report as soon as I get the fun done.
Charlie,
I’ve been looking at these CDL SF models via the internet and think they’re very beautiful guns… and thinking about ordering one. Because I’m currently based overseas and cannot handle the guns personally, I’m just curious about the stainless steel’s finish. I mean, could a man mount Leupold silver rings and bases on the rifle and perhaps a Leupold VXII silver 3-9x and make it look matched, or what’s your opinion on scope options that would match the CDL SF finish?
Thanks,
Bill
