Remington Introduces Two Left-Hand 700 SPS Rifles Specialty Varmint and a Youth Offering
Madison, NC Remington is pleased to announce the addition of two left-handed platforms to the Model 700 Synthetic Special Purpose (SPS) family of centerfire rifles – the Model 700 SPS Varmint Left Hand in 17 Remington Fireball, 22-250 Remington, 223 Remington, 243 Win and 308 Win. In an industry first and the perfect rifle to introduce the smaller-stature, left-handed shooter the Model 700 SPS Youth Left Hand in 243 Win and 7mm-08 Remington. These special purpose bolt-action rifles deliver the legendary Model 700 accuracy and reliability in a package designed for our Southpaw friends of all ages.
Model 700 SPS Varmint Left Hand At the core of this rifle is the rigid design of the Model 700 receiver, machined from a solid steel bar. This combined with the famous three-rings-of-steel design which completely supports the cartridge make the Model 700 one of the strongest and most accurate actions available. Performance-enhancing features of the SPS Varmint
rifle include a 26-inch heavy varmint-contour barrel; ergonomically-designed, matte black synthetic stock with vented beavertail fore-end for heat dissipation, weight reduction and stability; recoil-dampening, patented Remington recoil pad to lessen shooter fatigue; and non-reflective matte blue finish on exposed metalwork. These rifles also feature the Remington X-Mark Pro trigger, set at the factory with 40% lower pull weight and virtually no creep, further enhancing the performance of these tack-drivers. Other standard Model 700 SPS features include drilled and tapped receiver; hinged floorplate magazine with five-round capacity in 17 Remington Fireball and 223 Remington chamberings or four-round capacity in 22-250 Remington, 243 Win and 308 Win; dual front and single rear sling swivel studs; and on this model, a two-position safety on the left side of the receiver. Suggested retail price: $689
Model 700 SPS Youth Left Hand Starting your left-handed youngster with a rifle designed for him or her is the key to a lifetime of shooting enjoyment. This durable, well-balanced bolt-action, available in two versatile low-recoil chamberings, is the perfect choice. These high performance rifles have all of the standard design features of the Model 700 series in a more compact platform the matte black synthetic stock has a one-inch shorter length of pull (12⅜-inches) that provides for balanced handling with the shorter 20-inch
matte-finished, carbon steel barrel. Recoil is lessened with the addition of a patented Remington recoil pad. Further soften the impact of this rifle, but not its performance by partnering the 7mm-08 Remington SPS Youth offering with our new Managed-Recoil 140 gr Core-Lokt PSP ammunition. You can expect the same accuracy and consistency as with our standard full-size Model 700 offerings, as this version also has our state-of-the-art X-Mark Pro trigger, which is adjustable for pull weight by a qualified gunsmith. Other features of the SPS include two-position safety conveniently located on the left side of the receiver; receiver drilled and tapped for mounting optics; front and rear sling swivel studs; hinged floorplate with four-round capacity; and non-reflective, matte blue finish on exposed metalwork. This lighter weight, well-balanced rifle is also the ideal choice for smaller stature adults. Suggested retail price: $620
