Remington 700PSS is a police sniper rifle based on the successful civilian M700 range of rifles. PSS stands for Police Sniper Special. The PSS has a high quality kevlar reinforced synthetic stock and heavy high grade barrel. It can be fitted with a wide array of scopes and bipods. The Remington 700P is the current production variant of the PSS and is offered with a wider array of scope mounts and a detachable magazine. The Remington 700P LTR is the Light Tactical Rifle which has a shorter fluted barrel.
M40
The M40 is a highly modified M700 rifle developed and used by the United States Marine Corps since 1966. Each M40 is produced by armorers at the Quantico USMC base using an original M700 and many aftermarket parts. The original M40 is a Remington Model 40x varmint rifle with a Redfield Accurange scope. It uses the short action and cannot be converted to a longer cartridge than the 7.62x51mm NATO in which it is issued. During its extensive use in the Vietnam wars it proved that civilian rifle was not able to withstand the rigors of combat. Most M40's were converted to the M40A1 in the 1970's to overcome these problems. The main differences being the McMillan fiberglass stock, Hart heavy contour barrel and Unertl scope. In 1996 the M40A3 was introduced, it features a newer McMillan fiberglass stock, a Scheider barrel, a bipod and Schmidt & Bender scope.
M24 SWS
The M24 is a variant of the Remington 700P specifically designed to meet the demands of the United States Army. It is often called a Sniper Weapon System (SWS), with the entire system consisting of the rifle, the scope, a case and a multitude of accesories. The M24 is fairly similar to its parent 700P model, but amongst the differences are a 5 round detachable magazine and emergency iron sights. Unlike the USMC M40 it is based on the long action allowing it to be reconfigured in .300 Winchester Magnum or .338 Lapua in the future.
