Remington 700 SPS Tactical .223 Remington All Black Oxide Blasted Finish Bolt-Action Rifle

A: The 700 series rifles are still pretty accurate.

A: Hi Tom, Remington fixed the issues of the past. This rifle is very accurate and pretty much flawless again like it should be.

A: The quality did slack for a while Tom, but Remington has rebounded in the quality control these last few years. I would personally be all over the available 700 PSS. It does not matter the caliber, the PSS is a "Tack Driver" any day of the week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bZpqOkc-ih8

A: it is a production gun and you my get on that is a "tack" driver or you may get on that has good accuracy. a lot will depend on finding the AMMO it likes. the quality is good. But again like any "production" gun great accuracy is a combination of luck and finding what the gun likes to shoot. some of the most accurate custom rifles are only super accurate with a specific handload

A: Jonathan, barrel twist rate is 1:9 twist.

A: Jonathan - this Remington 700 in 223 features a barrel twist of 1:9.

A: Erik, If you plan on going out to 600 yards, get the 20 inch barrel no question. You will appreciate it at the longer than 400 yard marker Sir.

A: I say pick the one you like and never second guess yourself. very few people can shoot good enough to tell the difference between the 16.5 and the 20 inch barrels you could also get a great rifle in either are a littles great rifle due to the variations in mass produced rifles in my opinion this 22 inch gun has the most potential accuracy with the features that it comes with https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/90813/remington+84374+700vtr+4%2b1+223rem+22%22+fde

A: Erik - One thing for sure, your scope is more important, overall, than the barrel length.
