Remmy 700 SPS
« on: December 23, 2010, 08:27:17 AM »
 Whats an SPS?I know it means "Special Purpose Synthetic" but that tells me nothing. Anybody know what the difference is between this and just a synthetic 700? Is there a difference?

I'll take a stab-- I think the SPS's are the heavy barrel models.  My .17 Fireball 700 is a heavy barrel/synthetic stock SPS.  My .22-250 is the triangle shaped barrel VTR. with syn. stock.  I only shoot the .17 Furby from a bench for ground squirrels.  Too heavy for carry.
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

Hmmm...  Maybe the .17 Cal. hole is so small it just looks like a heavy barrel.  All I know is that sucker is heavy.  Accurate, but heavy.

Thats kind of what I'm thinking. I was just scared it's a new name for a 710 since they discontinued that p.o.s.  :dunno:

I believe the sps came in different styles like tactical, varmit and even a normal barrel.

SPS is the successor line to the ADL.  Their current entry-level M700.  Many different configurations.  It is a REAL M700, though, not a reborn 710.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Thats what I was wondering. Thanks. The price difference between the SPS and the BDL is significant, thats why I asked. Probably the high sheen and nice wood on the BDL makes the difference.

A friend of mine bought a 7mm rum in bdl and I bought one in the sps. Same barrel 26 inch, differences are trigger, stock obviously, and finish all the sps's I have seen are matte black. The stock on the sps sucks it sits tight against the barrel if you tried to float the barrel the stock would just crack, it can't hold without the support on the for end from the barrel.
I figured with the money I saved on the sps vs Bdl I could buy a good stock and trigger and have a more personalized M700 for about the same price.

By the way my friend and I use the same load/bullet combo and both guns perform very close in group size. Even with the crap stock on the sps.

Out of curiosity I went to the Remington.com website.  The number of 700 variations is mind-boggling!  Evidently, my .17 Fireball is the varmint SPS with a heavy contour barrel.  I'd go open the safe and look if I wasn't so lazy. :sry:
