I’ve always wanted an Ultimate Sniper Rifle. Like you see in the movies or video games.
Maybe the awesome CheyTac M200 Intervention?
Or the mighty Barrett M82!!
But when you look at the high-end rifles you can’t buy anything under $10k. I don’t know about you, but there is no way I can justify that with my income.
Then comes the Remington Model 700 Tactical Chassis! Wow at $3k this is an awesome sniper rifle. Coming in the most popular sniper calibers .308, .300 Win Mag and the .338 Lapua Mag with a 24″ or a 26″ barrel. This is what I should buy!
Problem is, I already bought a Remington Model 700 SPS in .308 with a threaded barrel a few years ago. Before the Remington 700 Tactical Chassis version was even available.
And I’m not the only one. The Remington 700 is one of the most popular rifles for the last 50 years. Its accuracy and the reliability is known around the world. Military and law enforcement agencies use them as sniper rifles. Civilian hunters use them to hunt just about every animal out there. Many people already own them. So this article will focus on what you can do to your existing Remington 700 rifle to improve the accuracy and the aesthetics of it.
