Remington 700 SPSS Tactical Stainless/Black Bolt Action Rifle – 300 Winchester Magnum – 26in - All-weather durability meets affordability. There is a cost that comes with high performance, in this case, it's a lot less than you think. The Model 700 SPS Stainless (Special Purpose Synthetic)...
Check serial number and see what year it was manufactured. Anything since 2000 or so is an instant No Go for me on a Remington product.
They went bankrupt twice for a reason and that reason was ****** or non-existent QC.
Well, I can't completely agree, as I have 2 rifles from 2015 that are just as well made as my early made VSSF II's that are flawless and both have Walker triggers. The latter 2 have had horrible factory triggers, but have Jewell triggers now. I also have several 5R and Sendero II rifles from before 2018 and the bolt timing, sears and triggers all required replacing, but I did this anyway when I swapped out the pressed steel followers for cast versions, PT&G make fantastic one piece bolts and all of my REM 700's have had this treatment.
Remington have always had an issue with the sweated on bolt head, never truly square to the centreline of the bore…
