The Remington 40XBR is a legendary single-shot, bolt-action rifle that stands as one of the most revered precision rifles ever produced by an American manufacturer. Developed by Remington’s Custom Shop and introduced in the 1950s, the 40XBR was originally designed for benchrest shooting—a highly disciplined precision shooting sport that demands near-perfect consistency from both rifle and shooter. Chambered in a variety of calibers, though most famously in .22 PPC, .308 Winchester, and .22 BR, the rifle’s hallmark is its exceptional accuracy. Built around the robust Remington 700-style action but crafted to exacting tolerances, the 40XBR features a massive single-shot receiver bedded into a heavy benchrest-style stock, a finely tuned trigger, and a match-grade barrel. Unlike mass-produced models, each 40XBR was assembled with hand-lapped barrels and actions, often blueprinted at the factory to eliminate any mechanical variance, making it capable of sub-minute and even sub-quarter-minute of angle (MOA) accuracy with the right load.
 
The 40XBR is not merely a high-end precision rifle—it is a benchmark in American accuracy engineering. Its reputation among competitive shooters is matched only by a select few rifles in the custom and semi-custom realm. In the hands of skilled marksmen, the 40XBR has dominated benchrest competitions for decades and has served as a base platform for many custom builds. The single-shot configuration enhances structural rigidity and reduces feeding variables, which is vital in competition scenarios where absolute consistency is key. Collectors and shooters alike appreciate the rifle’s craftsmanship, smooth bolt operation, and timeless design. Though discontinued, the Remington 40XBR remains in demand on the secondary market and is often regarded as one of the finest factory precision rifles ever produced. It continues to serve as a testament to what factory-built rifles could achieve at a time when craftsmanship, not cost-cutting, was the focus—and for many, it still sets the standard by which all other benchrest rifles are judged.
