Remington 700 SPS Tactical Review

UPDATE
So I just added the Holland’s Tactical Bolt Handle and I totally love it! Here are some photos:

Here’s the Remington 700 SPS Tactical at 100 yards. I’m working on compiling video of shots out to 400 yards.

So I’ve decided to enter the world of bolt action shooting.  As a starter gun, I’ve gone with the Remington 700 SPS Tactical with a Hogue over-molded stock.  I had a little bit of trouble getting this thing setup because I purchased the wrong height scope ring.  The folks over at Burris told me to go with the XTR low rings but it turns out that the bolt scraped the scope.  I did a little searching and found the same scope ring from Super Sniper for about $15 less.  So I went with those and after today’s time at the range, I’m not looking back.



The first two pictures are of my attempts to get three shots on top of each other. In the second photo, I was able to keyhole twice! All in all, I’m very pleased with this rifle. My gunsmith took the trigger down to 2.5 pounds and it shot super smooth. After I was satisfied that I had a good zero, I decided to shoot for the steel targets up the hill. I hit just about every target all the way up to 400 yards with out any problems. I was hitting the hostage scenario “bad guy” head at 400 yards as well. I couldn’t quite hit the 600 yard target because it was hard to see where my rounds were hitting with the snow. I definitely feel like a winner with this rifle. I should also mention that the scope is the Konus M30 4.5-16X40mm.
