Whether defending freedom or pursuing big game, its out-of-the-box accuracy is unmatched. It’s the number one bolt-action of all time, proudly made in the U.S.A. For over 50 years, more Model 700s have been sold than any other bolt-action rifle before or since. The legendary strength of its 3-rings-of-steel receiver paired with a hammer-forged barrel, combine to yield the most popular bolt-action rifle in history. The Model 700 SPS (Special Purpose Synthetic) is leading the way for the next generation of hard-hitting, fully-featured, affordably-priced rifles. From the rock-solid receiver design to the famous “three rings of steel,” the Model 700 SPS offers the unrivaled out-of-the-box accuracy and high-end performance you’ve come to expect from America’s most popular bolt-action centerfire rifle. Features include an improved, ergonomically designed synthetic stock, carbon steel barrels and receivers drilled and tapped for scope mounts. All exterior metalwork features a matte blued finish.
