About the Remington 700 SPS Tactical

The Remington 700 SPS Tactical is a bolt-action precision rifle based on the legendary Remington Model 700 action, one of the most widely used rifle platforms in history. Chambered in .308 Winchester, the SPS Tactical features a 20-inch heavy-contour barrel optimized for accuracy, a Hogue overmolded pillar-bedded synthetic stock for stability and weather resistance, and Remington's X-Mark Pro externally adjustable trigger. The rifle serves as a popular base platform for custom sniper rifle builds by law enforcement agencies and civilian precision shooters, offering sub-MOA accuracy potential out of the box at an accessible price point.

The Remington 700 action has served as the heart of more military and law enforcement sniper rifles than any other bolt-action design in history, and the SPS Tactical brings that legendary platform to civilian shooters as the most popular starting point for custom precision rifle builds in the United States.

The Remington 700 action is the foundation for numerous military and law enforcement sniper rifles including the M24 SWS, M40, and M2010 ESR. The SPS Tactical is specifically designed as an affordable tactical platform that can be upgraded with aftermarket chassis systems, triggers, and barrels. The 20-inch barrel is shorter than typical sniper rifles, making it more maneuverable in urban environments while sacrificing minimal ballistic performance in .308 Winchester. Remington emerged from bankruptcy in 2020 and was acquired by RemArms, which continues production.
