Our Assessment: Remington’s 700 SPS Tactical series has long been favored by shooters seeking a compact, accurate, and suppressor-ready bolt-action rifle built on the time-proven Model 700 action. This 2013 example features the desirable 16.5-inch heavy-contour barrel threaded 1/2-28 for brakes or suppressors, a configuration that balances maneuverability with excellent rigidity. The matte black metalwork remains exceptionally clean, and the rifle shows virtually no signs of meaningful use. Its Hogue overmolded “ghillie green” stock provides a grippy, weather-resistant platform with a solid, recoil-absorbing fit to the action.
Chambered in .223 Remington, a cartridge introduced in the early 1960s and widely valued for its flat trajectory, controllable recoil, and precision potential, the SPS Tactical excels in roles ranging from varmint shooting to training and practical marksmanship. The bright, sharply rifled bore reinforces its accuracy capability, and the crisp X-Mark Pro trigger complements the rifle’s precision-oriented design. With its threaded muzzle, heavy barrel, excellent overall condition, and original box and accessories, this SPS Tactical is a highly appealing setup for shooters seeking a compact precision rifle on the venerable Model 700 platform.
