Remington Firearms (New) R85897 .223 Rem 24" 6-Round FDE Bolt-Action Rifle

The Remington Firearms R85897 .223 Rem 24" 6-Round FDE Bolt-Action Rifle is a precision-focused platform built for shooters who demand accuracy, modularity, and dependable performance in a modern tactical configuration. Chambered in .223 Remington—the standard intermediate cartridge for law enforcement and military applications—this rifle bridges the gap between hunting-class accuracy and combat-ready reliability. The flat dark earth finish provides professional aesthetics while delivering practical corrosion resistance in field environments, making it ideal for law enforcement training, competitive precision rifle competitions, and serious civilian marksmen.

Built on a proven bolt-action receiver, the R85897 leverages Remington's heritage of precision manufacturing with a 24-inch barrel that optimizes velocity and sight radius for .223 ammunition while maintaining a manageable 9.8-pound overall weight. The 6-round magazine capacity balances follow-up shot availability with compact handling in vehicle-based or room-entry scenarios common to tactical operations. The bolt-action design eliminates the complexity of semi-automatic function, ensuring absolute mechanical reliability and minimal maintenance—critical factors in high-stress environments where short-stroking or bolt override failures are unacceptable.

This rifle excels for precision-focused marksmen, tactical trainers, and law enforcement agencies conducting carbine qualification or designated marksman training. The 24-inch barrel and .223 Remington chambering make it naturally suited to standard AR-platform ammunition logistics, simplifying supply chains in multi-gun departments. The FDE finish integrates seamlessly with modern tactical gear systems, and the proven Remington platform accepts aftermarket optic mounts, chassis systems, and accessories from the extensive .223 Rem ecosystem. Whether deployed as a designated marksman platform or precision training tool, the R85897 delivers accuracy-first engineering without semi-automatic complexity.
