Remington Model 700 SPS Tactical Rifle with BLACKHAWK! Axiom II Stock

Remington Arms Company

Madison, NC – The new Model 700 Special Purpose Synthetic (SPS) Tactical BLACKHAWK! combines the features that made the Remington Model 700 action the number one choice of police and military marksmen and the Model 700 SPS one of the most popular bolt-action rifle series in America.

A well-designed BLACKHAWK! Recoil-reducing stock, our X-Mark Pro externally adjustable trigger and other accuracy-enhancing features make this the perfect tactical rifle at a very affordable price.

Available in the widely popular 223 Remington (84208) and 308 Win (84209) chamberings, the Model 700 SPS Tactical BLACKHAWK! features a six-position collapsible stock with four inches of adjustment to fit all shooter’s length of pull and ergonomic pistol grip. The black synthetic stock features a soft-touch feel with olive-drab green, rubberized insert grip panels for comfortable, extended long-range shooting and assures a positive grip in inclement weather.

Utilizing the proven Knoxx dual recoil-compensation systems, the Model 700 SPS Tactical BLACKHAWK! revolutionizes felt-recoil making even the heaviest loads easy for all shooters to handle.

The heavy contour, tactical-style carbon steel barrel measures 20 inches and is the perfect balance between handling in tight spots and delivering pinpoint accuracy with twist rates optimized for match grade ammunition: one in 9 inches in 223 Remington and one in 10 inches in the 308 Win offering.

The caliber designation on the barrel is followed by a distinctive, laser-engraved “Rate of Twist.” Convenient hinged floorplate magazine with five-round and four-round capacities, respectively; a non-reflective, black-oxide external metal finish; and sling swivel studs round out this specialty bolt-action rifle. A great value for the target shooter or hardcore hunter, the performance-driven Model 700 SPS Tactical BLACKHAWK! retails for an affordable $849.99.

HARRISBURG --(Ammoland.com)- Thompson/Center Arms, a world leader in cutting-edge rifle design and manufacturing, will feature its new, state-of-the-art Dimension interchangeable bolt-action rifle system at the 2012 Eastern Sports & Outdoor Show (Feb. 4 – 12) State Farm Show Complex, Harrisburg, PA.

The Dimension, along with the full line of other Thompson /Center rifles will be on display at the Thompson/Center Booth, # 5035 in the new “Sportman’s Shop Gun Alley” in the Wild Wild West Hall.

The Dimension marks a technological leap forward in the quality, versatility and value of bolt-action rifles. The Dimension system is comprised of interchangeable components that allow shooters to easily change calibers with guaranteed minute-of-angle accuracy. Shooters can employ multiple calibers, from .204 Ruger to .300 Win Mag, in the same bolt-action rifle with just a quick component change.

The secret behind Dimension is Thompson/Center’s Locking Optimized Components System (LOC™). The LOC system makes it easy for shooters to change their Dimension rifle’s components and calibers in just minutes. It consists of 7 parts – a universal stock and receiver that accepts multiple barrels, magazine groups (magazine and housing), bolts and bridge scope mounts. Dimension hand tools work with all Dimension rifles. Interchangeable parts are stamped with letters: A, B, C or D. Match the letter on the barrel with the one on the bolt and magazine group and you have a perfectly matched set-up for any Dimension caliber.
