Re: Model 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD...
On my wholesalers website I'm seeing this one under item #84203 but there is also one that's about $80 more. I've searched everywhere and can't find anything else on it besides on the wholesalers website. The more expensive one says the part number is 85542, Remington sps 308win 20" HB AAC BO FH. Anyone know anything about this one?

Does anyone remember a thread that you can point me to extolling the virtues of one type of mount/rings which does this (or simular) rifle justice? Also, other than spending more $ than I can really afford, any ideas for a (BDC?) scope with which I'd be happy.

Seekins, NF, or Badger seems to be a consensus choice.

The AAC-SD model has a 1:10 twist rate.

But rest your mind... you should still be OK with shooting 175 out of the 1:12.... I have and have had great results....

Re: Model 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD...
1/10 is really designed for heavier sub sonic bullets. The 1/12 is closer to the optimum twist of for 175SMK's. I think optimum is supposed to be around 1/11.75 or there abouts.
I dunno about the looks of that stock though.....

Re: Model 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD...
I am not a fan of the hogue stock all together, but yeah my SPS has 1:12 twist... so that is a difference.

The 1/11.75 is designed for a 24" barrel.

1:11 from a 26 inch barrel perhaps.
1:6.5 for dedicated heavy (240 grain) subsonic use.
1:8 for a mix of 220 subsonic/supersonic anything.
1:10 from a 20 inch barrel is a good choice for supersonic 175s and subsonic use with medium weight round-nose bullets.

Re: Model 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD...
I got mine one Gun Broker for $605 shipping was a rip off at $35 but I got a rifle that isn't the easiest to get at this point.

Re: Model 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD...
I've got one on order at a local shop, but I don't know when it will show up. $645 with tax included. I also ordered a Manners T2A which isn't expected to show up until November, so I guess I have time.

Re: Model 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD...
I got mine in yesterday with the intention of putting it together as a hunting rifle. Ended up being a little heavier than Remington says on there website. They claim avg. weight of 7.3 lbs. Gun weighs 8.3 lbs. on my good scales. Having some second thoughts now.

Re: Model 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD...
I just got mine in Monday. Got it ready and I sighted it in Saturday.
Hornady 168gr. Amax- .311"
Federal Premium 165gr. Sierra Gameking BTSP- .673"
old Hornady 150gr. Interlock BTSP- .882"
Hornady 150gr. SST- 1.024"
Hornady 168gr. Match BTHP- 1.469"
Hornady 150gr. SST Superformance- 1.553"
Federal 180gr. Nosler Partition High Energy- 1.607"
Federal 180gr. Hi-shok PSP- 1.67"
Scope was a Leupold FXII 4x33 in Talley Lightweight Lows. Distance was 100yds. These were 3 shot groups and I know what some will say but I plan on hunting with it mainly. Got it primarily because it was 1:10 twist.
I am going to shoot it some more later on when I get some more of the more promising ammo.

Re: Model 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD...

I think it's a great rifle for the money so far.

Re: Model 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD...
Sorry for pulling this one out of the basement.....
I'm starting to build a stock for a customer in Germany who has a 700 AAC-SD and am not 100% sure what barrel profile is on this rifle. Can anyone confirm that the profile is identical to a Remmy Varmint?
Thanks

Re: Model 700 SPS Tactical AAC-SD...
I really want one of these rifles but I am not sure the threaded barrel is worth it to me, I am in IL and we cant own suppressors, so its all about barrel twist. and these rifles are 50 bucks more that the non threaded SPS tactical with 1 in 12 twist.

You could always put a screw on muzzle brake on the end of it if you cant own a suppressor

wouldnt getting a smith to tack on one be cheaper than 60 bucks?
