The increased weight of the barrel benefits a shooter looking for a stable rifle for quick follow-up shots. The extra mass also improves shooting stability and reduces felt recoil. These stout barrels allow for higher velocities and are not as sensitive to heat as standard-profile barrels. Long, heavy barrels are favored by precision rifle shooters and varmint hunters. Remington uses a drop-box, double-stacked magazine that sits flush with the bottom of the stock. It’s free-floated and has a nonthreaded crowned muzzle. The Varmint has a heavy profiled, button-rifled barrel. The Picatinny rail provides the shooter with more eye-relief options. A smaller ejection port allows for a stiffer receiver. You can find a Varmint at your local gun shop for around $500, keeping it within arm’s reach of affordability. These enhancements also increased the price from $354 to $625. Other details include an oversized bolt handle and a Picatinny rail. The most distinctive features that separate the Varmint from the standard 783 model are the 26-inch barrel and wood-laminate stock. In 2019, they hulked up the Model 783 and introduced a new model for varmint hunting, appropriately named the Varmint. A distinct design departure from the beloved Model 700, the Model 783 provides performance-oriented features designed to optimize a rifle’s accuracy.
