I just had to buy one of these to shoot PR at ORA shoots this coming 2017 Season. Ryan Mcle mentioned that we are gonna have some personal challenges and I'm quite excited to shoot with his tweaked C of F
BUT, big but.... for my clients shooting PR matches in Petawawa with existing Range Control deemed caliber restrictions, you have to purchase the .308 rendition. Or else yer #### will fall off!
I've had many clients for across the country asking me if there is life after the .308 caliber'ed Remmy M700 SPS Tac rifles, and they all wanna stay away from custom barrels and gunsmith costs... here comes an "out of the box" .260 barreled factory rifle M700 that many people are comfortable buying/shooting/tweaking/upgrading/playing/fondling/ touching (sounds weird eh?). Yeah, you can buy a Tikka T3 in .260, but this is a Remmy 700 with infinite upgrades available out there... More Farkles....
Now these rifles come factory Cerakote'd (black) and threaded 22" barrels with the usual 5/8 x 24 tpi setup. I installed a Primary M72 -M2 or something like that brake on there... This rifle set me back $1260 or something like that from Ellwood Epps, plus the taxes and I'll let you calculate the rest. Remember that the factory stock is BLACK, it's all BLACK, but I had to upgrade to FDE because ..... we CAN!
All the pictures were deleted by Photobucket so I will just clean up this post, sorry about all that hassle......
For more information on the stock head to CTCS website (board sponsor here). I've been super happy with this Magpul product. It's another offering for the newbie who wants to rid themselves of the factory SPS Tac Hogue Rubber coated stock whenever the new shooters can afford to upgrade. Like the chassis systems (Canadian: Cadex and MDT), new shooters have options for upgrading!
I've taken this rifle out to the range, late in the afternoon and had to rush my groups. I put down a few 108 gr Lapua Scenar boolits (thanks Hirsch Precision and Epps) handloaded with 39.0 grains of WC735 (thanks Higginson Powders). I was able to get all the 5 round booolits into an inch and that's showing lots of potential down the road...
Most pleased with this rifle for future competition, right alongside my .308 Ruger PR Edition Enhanced that I bought from Wolverine Supplies back in 2016.
Cheers and warm regards,
Barney
