MINI PROJECT RIFLE: THE REMINGTON 700 SPS TACTICAL MINI PROJECT RIFLE: THE


REMINGTON 700 SPS TACTICAL PART 4 By Laurie Holland


The rifle in its final .223 Rem form with the 26 inch Armalon barrel and Sightron Series III LRMOA scope.


When we last looked at the .223 Remington 700 SPS Tactical a couple of issues back, its looks and operation had just been transformed by a Third Eye Tactical bolt handle and Manners MCS-T5 stock fitted and supplied by Valkyrie Rifles and South Yorkshire Shooting Supplies respectively. The rifle retained its 20 inch semi-heavy factory barrel with a 1 in 9 twist-rate and kept its stubby carbine look, this also limiting the bullet weights that could be used. I hadn’t intended to replace the barrel at this stage, the plan being to spend some time working up handloads with a range of sporting and match bullets up to the 70 to 75gn weight bracket. Re-barrelling would only take place at a later stage and it would be in a different cartridge and calibre – the 20 Tactical wildcat.


This shot of the rifle shows up the radical design nature of the Manners stock’s thumbhole grip – it works out superbly on the range.
