Remington Production Numbers
I would like any information on production numbers on Remington 700 Bdl Varmint Specials in the calibers of 6mm and 7mm-08. Remington would not disclose this information to me. They say the 6mm is hard to find but it I can find more of them than any other caliber other than 22-250. I have never seen the 7mm-08, but blue book insists they have one, though Trader's Guide does not list it. I am now a firm believer that they made as many 6mm's as they did other calibers and I think the 25-06 and the 7mm-08 were probably the ones they made fewer of. Any figures would help me out. I have 5 of them 222, 223, 22-250, 25-06, and 308. I need the 6mm, 243, and 7mm-08 if it exists. I have seen all of them except the 7mm-08. I would appreciate any input.

I cannot find production numbers,but according to John Lacey's book on 700's,the varmit special was chambered in 6mm every year from 1967 to 1987 with the exception of 1985.The 7mm-08 was chambered in varmit special every year from 1980 to 1986.---found some production numbers for VS in 6mm. 1967--1405 68-1235 69-1400 70-817 71--642 72-562.Can't find production numbers for the 7mm-08.Hope this is of some help to you OSS 0 -
thank you for the post, i am really getting frustrated trying to find the 7mm-08. i hate to see what kind of price tag the thing will have on it.

I have seen a varmit special chambered in 7mm-08 so i know they do exist.I have a feeling they were not a big seller,and production numbers were probably quite low. 0 -
do you know who has it or how i can contact them? i think total production was under 3000 of them, someone told me that the production of the 6mm was around 3000, but i think they were mistaking it for the 7mm-08. i don't know what the problem was, they continue to make them in their varmint synthetics.

I am trying to remember where and when i saw the 7mm-08.I know it was not that long ago,but i can't remember where.I will do some checking in my area (Maine) and try to locate it for you. 0 -
if they don't want to get rid of it, get a picture of it so i can see that this gun actually exists

I have a feeling,if i can locate it,you could probably buy it right.Unless,like you,you are a collector,not a gun that everybody would want.I know it was at a gun shop,and i am sure they would love to sell it if they haven't allready.Give me a few days,if it is still out there i will find it.There are about a dozen gunshops across the State that i check occasionally.It had to be one of them. P.S. I see you already have the 25-06.I would think that would be a tough one to find. 0 -
yeah, i paid $860 for the thing. i didn't think i would find it, but it popped up on gunbroker one day and i bid $800 to make sure i got it next thing i know someone had outbid me, but i guess if you want something you've got to pay for it.

Hello fellows,
Out of simple curiousity, do either of you know how many were made in 222 Rem Mag? I ordered mine in 1977.

evidently not many, they don't show up in blue book or trader's guide.

Hmmm... I wonder what kind of premium it would bring. I also own (originally it was my fathers) Model 722 chambered in 222 Rem Mag. Both rifles will shoot in the same hole at 100 yards if I do my part[^].
