If you have seen my other thread for accurizing an M14, you will have noticed I'm trying to get a 'LE sniping rig' approved for my small police dept. I've gotten the permission to order a M14 through an army surplus program. The cost of the M14 is... 100 bucks...
From what I have been gathering, I'm not going to have much luck with a M14 to use it for law enforcement sniping (50-300 yards)...
so I've been looking at some inexpensive stock bolt actions that I could maybe convince my chief to get instead.
The Remington 700 SPS tactical seems to fit the bill. I see the stock is not the best and not a true free floater. and I will need an optic, rings, and mount base. (and bipod)
so I was just curious if you guys have any experience with a 700 SPS-T with the factory stock? what kind of accuracy are you guys getting? anything sub-moa will be fine with me.
I found an article on sniper central where they used federal match ammo and got sub half moa groups, which I would be very happy with,....
but I would love the semi platform, so I will be losing that for the sake of cost. (but getting a more precise rig)
the jury is still up. the M14s won't be coming in for another 2-3 months so....
