The markings mean it's a factory Remington barrel (as opposed to an aftermarket). There is also a date code in there somewhere, but I can't read yours.
The barrel length is measured from the crown (tip) to the breech face. The easiest way to do this is to measure from the tip to the hole in the right side of the action. Date Codes: http://8541tactical.com/remington%20date%20codes.php |

Can I be safe to call this a 700P model? |

It sure does look like it. And the REP is a proof mark saying it has survived the test shots.

I am looking forward to taking it out. The range close by goes out to 800 yards so I should be thoroughly challenged. Thanks again. |

Can I be safe to call this a 700P model? Yes. The stock and finish on the barrel/receiver are a dead giveaway. It will not have the M24 5R rifling. Though it is possible someone installed a 5R barrel on the action then sent it back to Remington to be refinished in their "non-reflective" finish, it is highly unlikely. edit: And your bipod is on backwards.  |
