Anyone have experience w/Remington 700SPS Tactical?

[Fadex]

I'm considering a Remington 700SPS Tactical in .308 for my next purchase.

Has anyone here had experience with this rifle?

I'm mainly going to use it for target shooting and maybe hunting occasionally. From what I have read it is capable of sub 1" groups at 100 yards. Anyone know what to expect at 300+? Any other recommendations?

Thanks!!

A fellow sniper buddy of mine has one, and it is a sub minute gun. Good base for a build or just as it is.

Thats what I want for my next one as well. Been trying to figure out which to start saving for.I have a pistol i thought about trading. Just to hard to let one go.

A friend of mine had one for his work gun, built for him. His wife bought him a Savage for a Christmas present. After several months he took them both to the range. The Savage was more accurate out of the box than his precision prepared work gun.

From his testimonial I've only bought Savage bolt guns.

I've got one, but haven't had much time to shoot it. Find me a 300 yard range in the murfreesboro area though, and i'll let you shoot it, and you can see what it does (especially since i'd like to try it, I haven't been able to shoot it past maybe 75 yards).

I have one. Excellent gun. Shoots far better than anyone who has shot it.

Gunsmiths here bugged me for a while to let them tear it down and "fix it" since they thought they didn't come from the factory with the bolts faced off like they should be and the barrels were supposedly in absolute need of re-truing. They took it down and found that it was 100% as it should be, apologized, screwed it back together and away I went.

I put my hands on one back a few months ago when Bud's had 'em for $540, I kicked myself for not getting one up until I picked up my Savage 112. I love the Hogue Overmold's that come on the SPS tactical though. Hopefully I can add one of those to my Savage wish list. My next goal is to talk one of my buddies into getting the SPS Tactical so I can shoot it

Is that offer good to anyone? Because I might be able to make it happen.

Wish I could find one in Rutherford County myself. I have to take it to Celina to find enough room to shoot 300 yards.

I have always wanted a AT&T rifle (reach out and touch someone) . I think I may make this my next purchase. All it will need is a good scope and bipod.

There is a range in Manchester that goes out to 300 yards. They shoot USPSA and IDPA matches there.

[Guest coldblackwind]

Hey, like I said, longest range I have easy access to is viola, and thats only 100 yards. Find me a longer range reasonably close and i'll let you shoot it, why not. Where is that range superman? I know of viola, and the gunsmith (terry walden I believe?). Viola is 100 yards (they just added one, may be 150, or 200, so correct me if i'm wrong) and the other i've never been to, but I was under the impression it wasn't very long.

Terry Walden's place is the one I'm talking about, I'm pretty sure it's 300 yards. There is one more in Manchester, I've never been to it, it's out on Cat Creek road somewhere. It's by appointment only, or something, I don't know much about it. I've been to the one in Viola once, so I don't know much about it either.

I'll stop by Terry's place tomorrow and find out for sure, but I'm thinking it's 300 yards. He's making it wider, but is only going out to 200 yards on the addition.

There is that range down in Manchester, I can't remember which exit (104?). They have an honest 300 yrds, I've been there twice now and look forward to going back... all you can shoot for $5.00

[Superman]

Exit 105, that's Terry Walden's place.

[Guest gcrookston]

Exit 105, that's Terry Walden's place.

That would be the place, thanks superman.

[Guest coldblackwind]

I may have to check him out. I thought that was like 50 yards.

[Guest sling]

Nice guns. People will give you s%*% about it saying 'tactical' on it.

Hell, i gave myself s*%# for it saying tactical. lol

[Superman]

Went by Terry's after work. The rifle range is 300 meters, which is roughly 330 yards. The pistol range is marked off to 25 meters, but you could probably step back to 50 yards or more.

Yeah...I'm not crazy about it having "Tactical" stamped on it either but I really like the short heavy barrel. Seems like it would be much easier to get through the woods.

[DaveTN]

Any other recommendations?

I didn’t have the need for a short barrel or tactical so I went with the VLS in .308.

At 300 yards plus the glass you put on it is every bit (if not more) as important as the rifle.

Terry’s place is the only place I’m aware of around the Boro’ that has 300 meters.
