Rem 700 AAC-SD "Tactical Rifling"

[QuietShootr]

What does this mean? I can't find any references to it anywhere. It's not 5r, I'm sure, but what's different about it?

Marketing bullshit. ... it just means its 1:10 instead of the standard remmy 1:12.

Don't you know you can add $100 to the price if you call it "tactical?"

[Silent]

Orkan is correct....

FFS.

I shouldn't be surprised...it does say AAC on it.

Is that not a decent value if you're looking for a threaded Remington 700 in .308? I also liked the capability of shooting heavier bullets, but I'm pretty new to the precision game and don't know if the difference between 1:12 and 1:10 will matter to me.

I bought one specifically because of the 1:10 barrel - I just wondered why they felt the need to call it "tactical rifling".

The weapon is made with the intent of using a suppressor and subsonic ammunition. A 12" twist will stabilize subsonic 180gr flat base projectiles while the faster 10" twist will stabilize the longer 220gr SMK.

I wish more companies would offer factory threading on their rifles. For the street prices of the M700-AAC, I think it's a good value. Faster twist for more versatility and factory 5/8-24 threads.

I also went with the AAC-SD for the 1:10 that would allow for the shooting of heavier bullets and also that the threaded barrel would allow some flexibility with muzzle devices. Unfortunately suppressors are illegal here, but hopefully that will change some day. The AAC-SD was only about $60 more than the SPS Tactical, so I decided to go with the AAC-SD. I am also new to bolt guns, so this will be the baseline for any future bolt guns.

Yeah, the AAC is a lot better deal than the SPS when looking at 20" 308's.
