remington model 700 SPS Tactical ???

[blueflash]

I have been looking at ordering one of these from the internet, because I found a really good deal. Does anyone know anything about them? Are they a detachable magazine?

It is a 20 inch heavy barrel and hogue stock in .308.

They are detachable box mags, if you do a search on Google there are some very in-depth reviews on them

Here is one of the in-depth reviews h ttp://www.snipercentral.com/spstactical.htm

It says in that article that they are internal box magazines

Sorry, I was just going by what Cabela's said under the descriptions; it says stainless detachable box mags. the Sps Tactical DM is the detachable box, you can get them without the box mags though

They are not Dm, they have a BDL style hinged foor plate.

I bought one from Frontier firearms in june and finally got a chance to shoot it last weekend.

The performance was more than satisfactory IMHO, especially for a factory pipe!

+1 on floor plate spec.

Buddy of mine has one, great gun.

floorplate, I have one and think its a great rifle for the money. Those hougue stocks are all dirt magnets though, any dust or grim seems to be attracted to it.

I can only find 2 tactical SPS models on the Remington web site. The AAC-Sd and the regular Tactical. no mention of a Tactical DM.

As per the Remington web site for the SPS Tactical:

Key Features:

• 20" heavy barrel
• X-Mark Pro Adjustable Trigger system
• Hogue overmolded stock
• Pillar bedded stock for accuracy
• Durable satin black oxide metal finish
• Hinged floorplate magazine

Seems Cabela's is misleading I bet a lot of people are expecting detachable box magazines when the order from their site

I have a SPS-T in 308 and am quite happy with it.

The stock is nice and grippy. It does pull on your cheek a bit though when fired.
My stock was touching the barrel until the stock was removed and reinstalled straight.
Trigger was lightened.
Barrel rifling in mine was a bit rough (fouling) but has gotten better over time and some abuse using a steel bore brush. (lots of passes cleaning)

It has been a great tool in my quest to learn about precision loading and shooting.

i think i just saw one on the EE for $550 shipped

first of all that link is for Cabelas USA not Canada and 2nd Cabelas Canada doesn't carry that model. Wholesalesports sells it I think.

 

[notsorichguy]

Frontier firearms sells them for $650(ish)
