About This Firearm
The Remington 700 SPS is a synthetic-stocked bolt-action .308 Winchester built for deer hunting in rough weather. Remington no longer makes it, so it is a used buy. SPS stands for Special Purpose Synthetic, and all of the exterior metalwork is matte blued over carbon steel under a synthetic stock Remington reshaped for the model.
Nothing comes mounted on it, so a base, rings and glass all have to be bought. The safety is marked S for safe and F for fire and does nothing besides. The plain SPS muzzle is not threaded. Nothing on the stock adjusts from its 13.38-inch length of pull.
If you’re cross-shopping, the Remington 700 ADL shares the 24-inch barrel, the 13.38-inch pull and the 4-round magazine, and Remington sold that one as a package with a scope on it. The Ruger American Predator is a used buy as well, 1.05 lbs lighter with an 18-inch threaded barrel and a Picatinny base already installed. The SPS is the long-barreled choice of the three.

Strengths & Limitations
- Every outside surface is matte blued, so nothing on the rifle shines in the open.
- Remington reshaped the synthetic stock for the SPS, and called it an improved ergonomic design over the one it replaced.
- It is the standard 700 action, so a gunsmith who knows a 700 knows this rifle.
- At 43.63 inches overall it is long to work in a blind, and the sporter barrel is still a hunting contour, so it is not a bench rifle either.
- A suppressor means barrel work, since the thread was reserved for a separate SPS Threaded Barrel model.
