A milled steel receiver comes drilled and tapped for mounting your choice of scopes. The 700 SPS features the legendary "three rings of steel" that make the 700 action the strongest and safest action on the market. An improved and ergonomic synthetic stock features overmold grip panels to give you a comfortable hold on the rifle. The 24" barrel is hammer forged from carbon steel and features a 1:10 twist rate. Like all other 700 models the SPS delivers top-of-the-line accuracy right out of the box and is sure to perform in every situation.
