Madison, NC – One of the major issues for young shooters and smaller stature shooters is finding a gun that fits properly. Remington offers a comprehensive line of downsized shotguns, centerfire and rimfire rifles, specifically-designed with a shorter length of pull and compact barrels for well-balanced, easy handling without sacrificing performance. Joining the Model 700 SPS Youth bolt action rifle line-up for 2007 is the popular and versatile 7mm-08 chambering.


This highly-functional centerfire features the unrivaled Model 700 solid steel cylindrical receiver housed in a weather resistant, black matte synthetic stock with defined grips and dual sling swivel studs. This sturdy, well-designed stock has a one-inch shorter length of pull than standard Model 700 SPS rifles and features the recoiling-taming R3® Recoil Pad which reduces felt recoil over 30 percent. The compact 20-inch hammer-forged, standard contour barrel is constructed of carbon steel and wears a matte blued finish. Receiver is drilled and tapped for easy attachment of optics. And for optimal performance and versatility from this bolt action, choose from Remington’s three 7mm-08 ammunition offerings – Premier® AccuTip™ 140 gr, Express® Core-Lokt® 140 gr PSP or 120 gr HP.
