700 Remi question

[Jifplumb]

I saw a Remington 700 I need to identify. It was a .308 20"bull barrel,fluted and threaded for a muzzle break. It had a SPS Varmint stock. Looked on the website and couldn't find this model. Any help would be greatly appreciated,thanks.

SPS tactical?

700 Remi question

Remington runs special versions of their rifles that are not cataloged so you won't find them all on their website.

There are two different types of fluting they do.
Type 1 is six shallow flutes.
Type 2 is three deep flutes .

Type one is used on the VSSF models and on the 5r tactical which is the only factory fluted and threaded barrel I know of.
That gun is a stainless action and barrel and the gun is ceracoated from Remington.

Type 2 fluting is used on the LTR (light tactical rifle), but LTR's don't come threaded.
LTR's come in HS stocks.

Neither the SPS tactical or the SPS tactical AAC-SD have fluting.
The AAC-SD model is just a normal SPS tactical with a factory threaded muzzle.

VSSF never had threads.... It might be a special run sps-t that was fluted, but I'm going to bet its a ltr in a spst stock that was threaded.

VSSF never had threads...

Correct.
I stated above that the ceracoated 5r tactical was the only factory threaded and fluted 700 I know that Remington made.

I guess it's a 700 sps varmint th-mz. Any good? Rare? I do like it due to tufa fact it's a little different but don't know if it's worth the $175 compared to the standard tactical.

The correct Remington stock number is # 85470. They do exist and the first time I handled one was 3-2012. I got to mess around with one at the Rocklin Sportsmans. It come with LTR barrel fluting, threaded, and 1-10 twist.

Well I went ahead and purchased it. Really glad I did as I have not seen any like it. I know it's just another 700 but now it's my 700! Will post a pic ASAP.

That looks like the AAC-SD model, just has a 20" barrel and factory threaded lik ARbarrels said.
