steve b Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Right I never thought I would be saying this but the time has come to sell my beloved Remington 700 sps as unfortunately I need to release some cash. The full set up is as follows Remington 700 sps DM (detachable magazine 4 Round) in .308 cal. Fired approximately 3 - 400 rds of home loaded (light loads) ammo. Shoots 1 MOA so I stopped load development. It is blued and threaded 1/2 inch UNF with thread protector included. The rifle has been free floated and now sits in the excellent Hogue FULL length aluminium bedded stock which I purchased 2 yrs ago for £200 from South Yorkshire shooting supplies (not to be confused with the inferior pillar bedded version). This rifle was PROPERLY shot in with a shoot one then clean for 5 rds then shoot 3 and clean for 5 groups and then shoot 5 etc etc The rifle is now 649 from sportsmans and the stocks are £200. The rifle also has a predator 8 sound moderator in excellent condition fitted to it (these are currently about 215 and is as I say in excellent condition. Sitting on top of the rifle are Leupold bases and rings bought new by me for 95 pounds. The scope s a leupold VX III 4.5 - 14 x 50 (1 inch tube)complete with varmint hunters reticle again in excellent condition (currently £664.12 from sportsmans) I have the original boxes for the rifle/scope and hogue stock and the paperwork for the scope which comes with a lifetime guarantee and is excellent in all regards. All in all this set up would cost over 1800 new I can also supply load data for 165 gn hornady soft point rounds which I have used to great effect on deer. If face to face then some home loads can be available at the cost price (about 55p a round - 100 availabe). I also have a number of target rounds available (norma cased 168 grn smk's) and I have shot 1.5 " at 200 metres with these rounds) I am looking to sell this rifle combination for 1300 pounds which is a saving of 500 off the new price. Any inspection welcome. I will be at Bisley on Sunday shooting this rifle with the bbs club. I would prefer face to face in kent. I am willing to travel within reason to meet up otherwise I can do rfd transfer at buyers costs. Photos will be available later today on request on this thread or by PM. Hope this all makes sense - any enquiries welcome must have space on ticket. Edited February 19, 2010 by steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very accurate rifle indeed . I still have the target and can do pictures on request/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
