This is a great varmint rifle. It very accurate. Only con it to heavy for a walking varminter. I got fast shipping from Buds. Great price.

Pros: Rifle is surprisingly accurate right out of the box. Maintained MOA with several different work up loads. One load I shot a 5 shot group that measured .668 outside to outside
The Rifle is definitely accurate. Better balance than expected given the heavy barrel and plastic stock. Most of the reviews I have read reflect the same out of the box accuracy.
Cons: After just three weeks the receiver has started to rust. Remington needs to address this as it the most common complaints. The finish appears thin over the entire Rifle.
Stock looks and feels cheap botom metal is plastic.Trigger while easily adjustable does not feel right I cannot feel any movement before it trips. While I expect this on my
competition triggers set at, ounces, I can feel the trigger move on my hunting rifles set at 2.5-3.5 pounds. On more than one occasion trigger tripped with a lighter touch than
expected.
Feeding issue (another common complaint), Does not always pickup rounds 2-5 out of the magi zine, I thought I had short stroked the first time it happened using hand loads built to
spec length 2.260. But after repeated attempts had to fiddle with the rounds in the magazine to get them to move up. Rounds loaded into the magazine with ease, my conclusion is
the follower and or spring are the culprit.
Conclusion: I read a lot of different reviews on the interweb before I purchased, and felt I could fix the known issues with little expense. Just because this rifle is very accurate out the box I will give 4 star rating.

Love this gun!!! Prairie dogs don't stand a chance with this. I've worked up a load that is shooting 1/2 MOA groups at 100 yds and anything out to 500 yds is pretty much toast with this. I love the composite stock due to the fact that I don't have to worry about scratches or weather affecting the bedding. I would definitely buy it again if needed and absolutely would go through Bud's. The price, free shipping and the speed at which it came are remarkable. This is the 4th gun I have purchased through Buds and they are definitely my Go-To guys for my guns. Thanks again Bud's!!!

Product was what I wanted and a good price. Just wish it would have shipped a little faster.

Bolt has corrosion on it when I opened box. Contacted Remington to get it looked at by gunsmith. Kinda bummed. Did not expect this.

Great gun for a great price. The action is smooth with little play. The stock is a little too grippy but definitely better than a crappy synthetic. I switched the trigger out with a Timney Calvin Elite. There isn't anything else that I would want to replace for a consistent, reliable 200-yard rifle.

Most accurate gun I have ever owned. With a 8.5x25 power scope I can almost put the bullet in the same hole at 100 yards every time! My groups average .25" at 100 yards. I love it!

The hogue stock blows, but the rifle is accurate even with it. Replace the stock and your groups will shrink by 50%. Replace the trigger and get more shirnkage.

Another flawless order thru Budsgunshop. The Remington 700 SPS Tactical in .223 is amazingly accurate even with cheap bulk ammo. I will have to order the same rifle in 308 now.

My second one, since everyone wants to shoot it. - AWESOME !!! I am able to hit DIMES at 100 YARDS. First thing I did was to tear it apart, put in a Timney Trigger to replace that RECALLED POS trigger (even tho it has been "fixed"). I put it in a Bell and Carlson M40 Stock (Green with Black Spider web), Mounted a Nightforce 20MOA Rail (Scope Mount Base) and topped it with a Nikon M 308 Scope (4 X 16) with BDC. I was shooting sub MOA and Golf Balls were no challenge at 100 yards. So we scotch taped some dimes to our targets and proceeded to make holes in dimes. Sub MOA with 69 grain Federal Gold Medal Match's - MOA with Federal AE 50 grain gray tip varmit rounds - MOA with Federal "Bulk" 223 FMJ. I already have this in 308 and set it up the same it will shoot dimes at 100 yards also! A FANTASTIC Rifle for the price !!!

Awesome gun I put a vortex 4x12 on it and it works great. Cant wait to get it in .308.

AWESOME !!! After putting 200 rounds through it today, I was able to hit DIMES at 100 YARDS. First thing I did was to tear it apart, put in a Timney Trigger to replace that RECALLED POS trigger. I put it in a Bell and Carlson M40 Stock (Green with Black Spider web), Mounted a Nightforce 20MOA Rail (Scope Mount Base) and topped it with a Nikon P 233 Scope with BDC for up to 600 yards. I was shooting sub MOA and Golf Balls were no challenge at 100 yards. So we scotch taped some dimes to our targets and proceeded to make holes in dimes. Sub MOA with 69 grain Federal Gold Medal Match's - MOA with Federal AE 50 grain gray tip varmit rounds - 2 MOA with Federal "Bulk" 223 FMJ. I already have this in 308 and set it up the same (scope is the Nikon M 308 tho) it will shoot dimes at 100 yards also! A FANTASTIC Rifle for the price !!! Mike - US Army Pistol Team 1974 -1977 - and I can still shoot Rifles too !!!

Great quality rifle to include the experience buying my rifle on line was flawless.

I was going to give this a 4 star review but thought better of it. Most people don't like these hogue stocks because you can't "clean" them due to the rubber over molding. Well I actually like the feature. This stock is grippy. I love the feel over any poly stock hands down. The front of the stock is a little flimsy. But the fact that the stock doesn't touch the barrel under normal use, and that it's pillar bedded brings me some reassurance. I mounted a champion 6-9" swivel bipod, a Warne two peace steel mount, and a Leupold Mark AR 3-9x40 scope. With very inexpensive XTac 55 grn .223 ammo I'm producing 1" groups at 50 yds. I would give this rifle a 4 star review on that fact but I think I'm expecting a lot from the cheap ammo. I've got some match ammo on order and some 69 grain match I haven't shot yet (still want to get used to the trigger). Speaking of, it has the "xmark" adjustable trigger (2.5-5 lbs I think?). I backed the trigger down to around the 2-2.5 but am still trying to get used to it. Being single stage, and light, yet crisp, I'm used to shooting two stagers. I think my groups will get better over time even with the crappy ammo. Five stars and I would highly recommend.

Bought this for my wife to shoot with my son's and I when we shoot our 308's. Great little gun, perfect for the wife with it's low recoil and is very accurate. Biggest problem is keeping the boys away from it so the wife can shoot! :-) Was too bad that Bud's sent it to the wrong address after I submitted a copy of the FFL for shipping but things happen. They handled the problem for me and agreed to only charge me half the shipping for their mistake. Thanks Buds

Just recently purchased this from Bud's. Transaction went smooth, just a little confusion on the part of UPS and my part, but no big deal. As for the rifle, just got the scope mounted and will try to get out and sighted in shortly (depending on ammo supplies!) I've seen a lot of complaints on the web about the pro-trigger that Rem. is using now. I can say that it is definitely not as adjustable as the Sav. accu-trigger, but it does break clean with no take up.or creep. Rem. says it can be adjusted down to around 3 lbs. I believe it's closer to 4 lbs. Many complaints about the hex screw sticking out of the trigger to far and rubbing on the finger. This is true. I solved the problem by filing down the head of the screw and the cone shaped end, being careful not to touch the threads. Now it can be adjusted to its lightest setting without protruding from the trigger. The stock is flimsy in the forend, but I already knew this from experience with my hogue 10/22 stock. Some judicious sanding in the forend channel takes care of most of this. All in all, happy with the rifle and with how Buds handled everything, will definitely deal with Buds in the future.

This rifle is fairly accurate out of the box. I put a 4-16x50mm Millet tactical scope on it with Millet rings and a 15 MOA Weaver base. The barrel is free-floating all except for the very end of the forearm. It touches the barrel in this area, with or without pressure on it. The Hogue over-mold stock also seems to be a little weak and allows for twist when you load up on the bipod. With that being said, I shot sub MOA at 100yds with no problem with this rifle with 55 grain BTHP. I also shot Hornady 75 grain Superformance Match BTHP through this rifle with less than pleasing results. It appears the 1:9 twist rate will not stabilize the 75 grain bullet (which I was already suspicious of). With the 75 grain I shot 2 MOA at best @ 100yds. My plan from the beginning was to change the stock on this rifle, which I will do, and I suggest for anyone else purchasing this rifle. As always, I am pleased with Bud's customer service during this purchase.

Great gun. After getting this rifle sighted in I was able to 5 rounds touching on numerous occasions. All shooting was done with factory 55gr ammo. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the Hogue stock isn't great. Has a very sticky feels and is crazy hard to clean. Everything will stick to the stock (grass, dirt, gun oil, and styrofoam from box). As soon as I got the gun I dropped the barreled action into a new H-S Precision stock. Great improvment over the Hogue. Buds was also great to deal with. I did everything online. Ordered the gun Saturday night and I had it in my hands before noon the following Wednesday. Great service. Will order more from Bud's.

Took it out to the range, feeds bullets nice and crisp. Shoots even cheap tula ammo accurately at 100 yards. Recoil is pretty heavy for this rifle. Surprised me a lot. when she goes bang better hold on ! for a .223 caliber? wow. Feels good and shoots like a dream. Now just waiting for my night vision scope. Added a folding bi pod, 42 powered scope , sling and stock ammo holder and she looks ready to go to war. Seeing how many complaints the .308 version has gotten, i'm glad i got the .223.

I got it in on Monday and I have to say this is a very nice, well built quality rifle. I haven't taken it to the range yet but I'm sure it will perform as stated by Remington. The rifle is very heavy , seeing it listed on the website @ 7 1/4 lbs...doesn't seem like a lot till you actually hold it. It's all front heavy though, the barrel. I guess this will basically take all of the recoil out of the rifle . I'll post a better review after some time at the range.

I purchased the 223 not to long ago and I could not be more happier with it. The rifle shoots like a dream with the 69 grain sierras. I changed the stock to an HS and strapped on my Zeiss. The zeroing was a snap like always and the rifle did it's part. I'm very excited with this product as I am use to the 308 platform..Love the price and what can I say about Buds Guns..A+++++++++ Gun Dealers..Thanks and God Bless.. Archie

I purchased the .223 Tactical this spring and it was sub-MOA from the very first day and just improved from there. This rifle is an outstanding bargain compairing well with others that cost 2x as much. The Hogue stock is a welcome addition. Service and delivery from Buds was outstanding.

For the .308: You guys had the best price which included the S&H. I bought a 700 VSF prior to this as I couldn't come by one of these guns. Sold another gun to buy the 700 SPS Tactical when I saw that Bud's had them for this price and wasn't disappointed. With little effort it holds under 1 MOA and that is prior to doing any serious hand loading or breaking the barrel in. Have heard complaints about the forend tip touching barrel with a bipod attached. That is remdied in five minutes with snadpaper. Those who find fault with the X MARK trigger have to be on crack. Its far better than the old standard one that was on 700 VSF and having just dumped a Savage 14 in 308 over this gun I can attribute that the X MARK Pro IS better than the AccuTrigger. No stupid tab and better shaped. To put it shortly, this gun shoots twice as good as the price would indicate. I'm now thinking about one in 223 for Yotes as this foremat is a lot less heavy and cumbersome than my other varmint guns. A solid "A". And no I don't work for Remington.
