I've had a 700 SPS Tactical in 308 with the 20" barrel for about 10 years now. It's performed very well and became one of my favorite bolt guns to take to the range. With the hand loads I worked up for it, it's a consistent .7 MOA gun, half minute on my absolute best day with perfect conditions. 168 grain SMKs, Varget powder, Federal G210M primers and typically whatever brass I have on hand, winchester, norma, lapua, lake city, etc. Haven't done much reloading lately, prices are outrageous and that's if you can even find it. I'm thankful I stock piled what I did before all this craziness started.
Great video...that’s a nice little tack driver. I have a similar setup but in .308 with the magpul stock. Love the feel of it. Your comments are spot on..there are so many options for tricking that platform out..pleased with my purchase..
The only problem with the 700 tactical is a lack of chamber offerings.....id like to have a 700 tactical with an 18 inch bull barrel in 30,06....or 300 win mag....or 270
I did the same thing with mine but with an Athlon scope. With cheap s&b ammo it’s a 3/4 rifle all day. With my factory nosler ballistic tip sitting on a bucket with a cheap bog pod tripod in the rain I shot back to back sub half groups.
I bought a shit ton of that s&b 140 when it was 39 cents shoots consistently at .56 in my friends tikka t3x a1 great ammo. Velocity was soso at 2650 same speed as his 147 eldms he bought about 10k rounds of it.
Just got this exact rifle. Love it. Maybe not as nice as a 2020 Waypoint but for under $1000 im not sure if the waypoint is 4x as good considering it’s 4x the cost. I added Magpul Pro 700 stock and magpul bipod. Bringing the cost of mine close to the waypoint. And at that point, I dunno which is better. But they sorta have different applications at that point.
Mine shoots .25 MOA with Fusion ammo for hunting. I did go through it with a micrometer and a fine tooth comb. It is .308 for police use but it is my private gun. I am a world record holding shooter and have shooting skills and practice most do not have. For a shorter barreled factory gun in this price range this is the bomb. My department is cheap.
Recently picked up a Remington 700 SPS in 308 caliber, but noticed the barrel comes in contact with the stock, so changed over to a Magpul stock to free float the barrel and also upgraded to a detachable magazine. Initial sight in at 100 yards looks good, but need to shoot more. Not looking for a thousand yard gun, but want something that can easily reach out to 500 yards or so.
What is your complete setup. I’m wanting to build a short tree stand rifle for the Ozark deer woods. This seems perfect but will probably lean to .308.
Very nice, Great job. I picked up a Rem 700 and haven't been able to shoot it yet but hopefully very soon. I have the Magpul stock and magazine set up to use as well.
@@ShooterOpinions It is a few years old but has never been shot - so it's not like a gun that came out over the past few months or anything like that but yes would be interesting to see what is going on with Rem in current times. I am really excited to get the scope dialed in, etc, etc.
@@ShooterOpinions I have a new remarms model 700 sps tactical in 308 as well as a remarms 870 tactical. Both seem really good so far. But only time will tell.
Hello, I apologize but I could not get what kind of suppressor you di use. Can you please tell us/me what did you use it? BTW, it was awesome and great noise reduction. Thanks in advance.
Is the Remington lottery still a thing? Some ppl get lucky with Sub MOA out of box and some get like 2& inch spread? I am looking at the rem 700 magpul edition 22 inch in 308
I have been thinking about that same rifle only in left hand. I have a LH 700 CDL 30-06 ( '05 production) that is my go-to deer rifle but it was made before the company went to crap. If yours is new production, does it meet your expectations so far?
@@plaiddad276 so far I've shot it at 383 yrds and it was a good shooter. I was shooting steel but it seemed fairly accurate the trigger may need replaced and eventually ill change the stock bit for now I'm totally satisfied
Was the rifle you purchased new production or new old stock? People seem to talk trash about the new production 700s so I'm curious if you had any quality issues since you bought it? I'd like to get one, but I'm not much of a gambler LOL!
@@ShooterOpinions great im only a .90 moa of a shooter my grandpa shot a tiny .34 moa group with consistent .41 moa use 175 barnes match burners lapua small rifle primer fort smith primers and varget.
Are you or someone else shooting both? Every time you fired a round every time you ejected it gravel fell behind target why would some one be down range makes no sense to me I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around what’s going on in this video
Thank you. I enjoyed the video and have been thinking of getting the very same rifle for myself. I bought my boys a ruger American in 6.5 added the magpul stock we really like it. Just thought about getting my own.

Yeah my shooting habits really changed over the past year or so. mainly shoot my Vudoo 22lr when I just want good practice.
Im debating on the Tactical 20" vs the Varmint 26", how far are you able to reach with that tactical 20"?
If that were my rifle I would leave it alone. Amazing accuracy for what you have into it.
Finally some good news about the 700 . Thanks for making the video.
Yeah thanks man.

Pleasantly surprised with this one.
Used to have one of these sps tacticals I really liked it. I use a Remington 700 PCR now!
This is my first one. exceeded my expectations.
@@ShooterOpinions Yeah it's a good gun. Check out the PCR I'm using right now and a couple other gun reviews I did on my channel!

Yeah man can't go wrong really. There are a lot of people who love this thing and it leaves money left over for ammo.
@@ShooterOpinions clearly the Marines loved it as it was the basis for the M40 for decades. Love your videos. Keep up the great work.

I love that. It's amazing what a little attention to detail will get you.
What kind of adjustments did you have to make to it?

I think it took about 30 rounds or so for this one to settle into the way it was shooting on the video. A short break-in never hurts.
What is your complete setup. I’m wanting to build a short tree stand rifle for the Ozark deer woods. This seems perfect but will probably lean to .308.
you can absolutely use a 10x out to longer ranges. do it all the time at 1k. a 14x a little more useful.
Looking good Mike. Love the Remington 700 action. Do you still have the one you got when you were in Pa
I sold it to my brother several years ago. Love that rifle.
Very nice, Great job. I picked up a Rem 700 and haven't been able to shoot it yet but hopefully very soon. I have the Magpul stock and magazine set up to use as well.
I hope you love it. This one-shot great right out of the box. I'm curious how the new rifles are doing since the Remington shakeup

Where'd you get the torque stick for the rifle ?
Great vid, so cold bore shoots 1 inch low then the rest in the same hole? Nice!! Hope I get this lucky 8)
Honestly not what I was expecting but I'm really glad it shot the way it did.
When you said Creedmoor I said to hell with it

what grayboe stock is that with the DBM?
@@kelaiah_ that’s the Grayboe Renegade with the M5 DBM inlet.
Just get a bergara HMR if you want a sub 1k tack driver
I have a 700 sps tactical in 308 that is just as accurate as my 308 hmr. But I will say this, the bergara is much smoother and more refined.
I'm more concerned with accuracy than refinement
What color is that gray bow stock can’t find it on web site ( renagade )
I don’t think they are able to do the Kuiu based color patterns anymore.
Do you do links for the stuff you add to your rifle
I'll do that now.
I'll do that now.
Was the rifle you purchased new production or new old stock? People seem to talk trash about the new production 700s so I'm curious if you had any quality issues since you bought it? I'd like to get one, but I'm not much of a gambler LOL!
As of when you commented, Remington is a pretty safe quality option again.
Any idea what color that is on the grayboe stock? Looks great
Its a Kuiu hydrodip
140 gr would be floating no?
I'm not sure what you mean by floating?
I love this stock. Could I know where to buy one?
The out of the box stock or the aftermarket stock?
good
I bought one of these rifles but in 308 threw the factory stock in trash. put magpul stock, geissele 2 stage trigger swfa 10x also 20 moa rail
Hows it shooting for you?
@@ShooterOpinions great im only a .90 moa of a shooter my grandpa shot a tiny .34 moa group with consistent .41 moa use 175 barnes match burners lapua small rifle primer fort smith primers and varget.
Which Grayboe stock is that?
Renegade
Are you or someone else shooting both? Every time you fired a round every time you ejected it gravel fell behind target why would some one be down range makes no sense to me I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around what’s going on in this video
Probably just didn't have the video synched up perfectly. I had a camera on a tripod down range.
How far out was the target?
100 Yards
👍
In your 1000$ budget, was the scope factored in ?
No. Back when I got the scope it was around $1800
@@jeffallen3382 Cant go wrong with a good scope.
Thank you. I enjoyed the video and have been thinking of getting the very same rifle for myself. I bought my boys a ruger American in 6.5 added the magpul stock we really like it.
Just thought about getting my own.
@@jeffallen3382 I didn't mean to be misleading, Most people assume rifle only.
@@supercomp9 Thanks for watching. Glad you found some value in it.
Savage model 10..$440
My 7 MAG shoot better than your example, 5 shots 1/2 groups .with a standard Remington 700 stock...
I do not believe this was 1000 yards maybe 300
Furthest I took it for the video was 100 but a 6.5 Creedmoor shooting groups like this is an easy 1000 yard gun.
shot better with remintion stock
Yeah that was probably the most surprising thing out of the whole project. regardless I like the look and feel of the Grayboe better.
That's a $2,000 scope. Lol
ehhh $1800 ha ha
Match ammo was trash
Sun 1000 rifle but yet puts a scope that runs about 2k and a silencer that runs 1k lol
ha ha true.
That's literally what you should do. Buy a good enough gun and drop the best optic you can afford on it.
