About the Taurus Expedition
The Taurus Expedition is Taurus' first bolt-action rifle, introduced in 2024. Built on the proven Remington 700 footprint, the .308 Winchester model wears an 18 in (457 mm) cold-hammer-forged, helically fluted stainless barrel threaded 5/8x24 for suppressors and muzzle devices. It feeds from detachable AICS-pattern magazines and rides in a polymer chassis-style stock with an M-LOK accessory slot, scalloped saddle cut, and an integrated Spartan Precision bipod mount. All metal is finished in Black DLC.
After eight decades known mainly for revolvers and pistols, Taurus broke into the bolt-action world with the Expedition - its very first turn-bolt rifle - betting on the ubiquitous Remington 700 footprint to win over the precision crowd on day one.
