Did Remington ever produce a 700 chambered in 223 with a 1:9 twist barrel? Seller on GB claims his is such a rifle. Can anyone confirm? Google doesn't turn up any verifiable data.

I have what Remington called their Rem 700 SPS Tactical. It has a 1 in 9 twist.

I forgot about that one. This one looks like a standard SPS.

If it is an SPS or their varmint SPS, it will be 1 in 12.

Those who must raise their voice to get their point across are generally not intelligent enough to do so in any other way.

I guess I need to start looking for one. His is just a plain Jane rifle.

I want a Remington with a sporter barrel in 1/8. I guess I might be asking too much. This might explain why they went bankrupt.

I'd go for a sporter barrel with a 1:7 twist.

I have a 700 5r (heavy, fluted barrel) that has a 9” twist, but I have never seen any Rem 700 sporter (ADL, SPS, etc) in anything other than 12” twist.
I’d love to have all my .223’s in 7” twist myself.

Mine was an old one with 1 in 14. Put a Douglas 1 in 8 on it.

Not a 700, but my Savage 10FP (police model) is a 1 in 9" twist. It puts Black Hills 68 grain OTM in 5 shot bug holes at 100 yards.

I had an SPS Tactical once upon a time with a 1:9. Never shot it much but wish I still had it. Nothing special but a fun little plinker. Not a Gunwriter.

Just posted looking for something like the 700 tactical. If all else fails there's always MGM for my Encore......
