Best I can tell my new to me rifle is a Remington 700 PSS (Police Sharp Shooter) built 8/1989
It came from the factory with:
Parkerized finish
24-inch Barrel
Super nice trigger
H.S. Precision stock

It had on it:
Leupold 16x scope, Redfield base, Rings ??
Older fixed scope M8????

I had a harris bipod in the truck for my M1A so I put it on the 700 at the range.

I bought this Sat and was able to fire 10 shots with Federal 168 Match ammo.


Last 5-shot group @ 100-yards after a few clicks on the scope. .532 group

Any ideas or links to information as to what the barrel twist is on the 24 inch barrels. The crown is different than other PSS's I see pictured.

<span style="font-weight: bold">Thanks guys</span>

The scope is a 1977 16x AO Benchrest scope per the Leupold Tech Line.


I still have not found out why the crown looks different than other PSS's that I have seen....

It is/was raining outside so inside pics is all I could grab:
