Subaru_sti5 Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 The story is I have a rem 700 sps tactical .308 on order and is not in the uk yet, I'm now 5 weeks over when i was told I would have it by and my impatience is getting the better of me, does anyone know if there local RFD has one in stock? I have located 1 but at £400 more than the price I am paying its a no no. If anyone knows of somewhere that has one in stock even if it's still waiting to go back to riflecraft to have the trigger done please can you let me know. Many thanks Kyle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_Edwards Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I can't help in locating one, but I was talking to an RFD the other day, and they said that Remingtons are very difficult to get hold of at the moment, something to do with the USA not wanting to export many. By the sounds of it, their new distributor, SMK, are not making the job any easier, as they have changed the warranty policy on new guns, making it risky for gunsmiths to customise them too. They could be getting scarcer as we speak, and spares could become an issue aswell. It's a shame, they're lovely guns. I had my eye on a Remington 700 Police in .223, but I changed my mind and got a Steyr Mannlicher instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saddler Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 You'd think the demand would be there for mint unused ones given the lack of new stock. Not been able to sell my almost unused 700 Varmint SPS, so it'll be getting stripped apart for spares/projects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
