However the line comes up well and you get good cheek weld and a comfortable, eye/scope relationship. The butt shows a low, straight comb with a marginal cheek piece. However, it would seem unlikely that this rifle is ever going to be used free-hand… Remington have fitted two QD sling studs up front and one at the rear along with textured panels to enhance grip though the ones at the forend are a bit far back. This means that there are two, raised sections that it physically sits on I have always wondered why they bother, as it seems to fly in the face of the free-float principle? The muzzle is threaded 5/8x18” but other forms are available to order and comes complete with a protector.
The forend is vented with three slots either side and the 26”, medium/heavy barrel is free floated but shows pressure beds at the front of the channel. The SPS does this with a far cheaper moulded design, with a sporting-style butt and a large/wide forend.
Usually on Varmint-type guns the furniture is either laminate, fibre glass or similar in a big, rigid build for added stability.
The gun looks a bit different as to my knowledge it’s the only model with what might be termed as a medium/heavy, factory-moulded stock. From this basic hunter the range has grown to cover a number of needs, perhaps the most interesting being the Varmint.
