Remington M-24 SWS

This is infuriating. I have one of the originals, and it was supposed to be a limited run of 5. Seems Remington is going the way of Colt and just making stuff up to sell rifles

Same here, however considering what Remington is going through right now, who knows how long they'll be around.
 
Not trying to be a ####, mostly just ignorant about these. What makes these so much more than say a heavy barrel Remington 700 rifle? I initially was looking at the pics and thought, cool, iron sights and you can run a scope if you want. I was thinking $1500 tops, but I guess I am out to lunch on that.

If you've ever had the opportunity to hold one of these in person, you'd know why they're worth the extra dough. The action is *very* nice compared to a regular R700, the stock fit is excellent, and the surface finish of the rifle is pretty much perfect. One of our customers had purchased a factory refurbished model (afaik the only way you used to be able to get the real deal) and it printed ridiculous groups.

Thanks, I guess it is hard to tell in the pictures. I do like it with those target sights on it, very nice.

I did a table-top side by side comparision between the M24 and 700p, and at a quick glance they are very similar in appearance.

Stare at them for a while, and you'll begin to spot the differences. Google "M24 Canada" and the first hit should be a link for a forum that shall not be named here (becauae it will get censored out, lol!)

Shoot them and the gap gets bigger.

I'd say $5k isn't horrible for what you get. Not sure if I read it right, but I think these things were required to do .35 moa at one point according to wiki

Yeah, I understood that there would only be ten in Canada and it was unlikely more would be coming in, but my buddy at Reliable ordered a bunch for a group of enthusiasts. These guys bought one each to shoot, but decided to order a second rifle to keep as a collector piece.
 
Sweet mother of God !

Would be bada$$ ...... allready basically have a custom this and that 700 target rig that kinda looks similar , plus a retro Vietnam m40 sniper clone , but yeah if had to do it again I'd put the wife down for collateral to get this , change name to Bob Lee Swagger then too .... lol

In other words, it's a Remington that is free from defects and flaws right out of the box. I guess you have to pay a premium for that these days.
 
Got the opportunity to grab one on the EE.... for almost 60% of the price of a new one

Built like a tank, action is sooth, fit and finish is PERFECT, That is one sweet rifle.

Are parts listed in the 1st post available ?
