[QUOTE="shootinfool, post: 794531, member: 9140"] I was wrong in my oringonal post. The PSS stands for Back when this model was named, it was intended solely for sales to LEOs, it was named the Police Sharp Shooter (no major gun company would be so naive as to name their gun a "sniper" rifle). Later, as normal folks started to get ahold of these rifles, it was decided that even "Police Sharp Shooter" was too un-PC, and the name was changed to 700P, with the P indicating a Parkerized finish (per Remington), NOT "Police". I had to go digging through boxes to find this one out. Like I said, for the longest time I have been calling it the police swat sniper rifle and was wrong. What ever it is called, the ones that I have are shooters for sure. I would love to own one more, the .300 win mag. After that, I would call it quits though. Even though they say that the p version and the pss version are the exact same thing, I have a buddy that has a P model, and his is different. They are small suttle differences but differences none the less. I like the PSS version and have not come across one that I could not make shoot. There are those that say that these are crap rifles, I have 2, a couple of buddies own 2 each, for a total of six rifles, and not one of them is a poor shooter. In fact, each one of them is an exceptional shooter, 1/2 moa or better with the right loads fed to them. If you have a chance and want a long range shooter, I would snatch it up in a heart beat.
