How to Shoot the Remington 700 Varmint
The Remington 700 bolt-action rifle is a solid workhorse weapon that that company has been producing for years. The rifle has seen service in both civilian and military sectors, and a variant is also used as a sniper rifle by several law enforcement teams. The Remington 700 with the "varmint" barrel--a barrel that has been tooled for a lighter caliber bullet designed primarily for hunting small game--is a popular weapon among sport hunters due to its accuracy and ease of use. Firing a Remington 700 is a simple process, and quite enjoyable if you are at all interested in sport shooting.

1
Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart and raise the Remington 700 up so that the rifle butt is tucked firmly against your shoulder. The body of the rifle should come across your body, not pointing straight out.
-
2
Look down the barrel of the rifle towards whatever it is you wish to aim at. Aim your vision between the notch of the rear sight and focus on the post of the front sight. Alternatively, if you are using a scope, close one eye and use the other to sight through the scope.

Line up the front and rear sights so the tips of both sights are level, then place the tip of the front sight over whatever it is you are aiming at. Alternatively, if you are using a scope on your Remington, place the cross-hairs over whatever it is you are aiming at and do your best to hold the rifle steady.
