Remington Firearms (New) R85840 .223 Rem 22" 6-Round Bolt-Action Rifle

The Remington Firearms R85840 .223 Rem 22" 6-Round Bolt-Action Rifle is a precision-built platform designed for shooters who demand reliability, accuracy, and straightforward mechanical function. This rifle serves law enforcement marksmen, military-adjacent civilians, and sport shooters who prioritize dependable shot placement over rapid fire. The bolt-action design eliminates the complexity of semi-automatic systems while delivering the accuracy and durability expected from Remington's heritage in precision firearms.

Built around the time-tested bolt-action receiver geometry, the R85840 chambers .223 Remington—the NATO-standard 5.56×45mm's civilian equivalent—offering ballistic consistency and widespread ammunition availability for both training and duty applications. The 22-inch barrel provides optimal velocity and sight radius for the cartridge while maintaining a practical 9.4-pound total weight that remains manageable during extended field operations or bench work. A 6-round detachable box magazine ensures quick reloads while the bolt-action mechanism guarantees mechanical simplicity, minimal moving parts, and inherent reliability under adverse conditions—critical factors for tactical and law enforcement environments where firearm failure is not an option.

This rifle benefits marksmen tasked with precision work at intermediate ranges, including designated marksman roles, training programs, and civilian tactical sport shooting. The .223 Rem cartridge's modest recoil impulse and barrel length support fast shot recovery and target reacquisition—essential for accuracy-focused competition and duty scenarios. The R85840's straightforward design accommodates standard Picatinny rail systems and aftermarket optics common to tactical platforms, allowing integration into existing equipment ecosystems. Law enforcement agencies and military-trained shooters who understand bolt-action fundamentals will recognize the inherent mechanical advantage of this platform: reduced points of failure, deterministic operation, and uncompromising accuracy.
