Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key features of the Remington 700 SPS Tactical rifle?

The Remington 700 SPS Tactical features a Hogue overmolded stock for enhanced grip, a 20-inch heavy barrel threaded at 5/8x24 for muzzle device compatibility, and an X-Mark adjustable trigger factory-set at 3.5 pounds. It is chambered in .308 Winchester.

What makes the Blackhound Optics 6-24x50 FFP scope suitable for long-range shooting?

The Blackhound 6-24x50 FFP scope is ideal for long-range due to its first focal plane reticle, which maintains accurate subtensions at all magnifications. It offers 6-24x zoom, a 50mm objective lens for light gathering, exposed turrets with 1/4 MOA clicks, and an illuminated reticle.

How does a First Focal Plane (FFP) scope differ from a Second Focal Plane (SFP) scope?

In an FFP scope, the reticle is positioned in front of the magnification lens, so it scales with the zoom. This means MOA markings on the reticle are accurate at any magnification. In an SFP scope, the reticle stays the same size, making subtensions accurate only at the highest magnification.

What was the initial accuracy of the Remington 700 SPS Tactical with the Blackhound scope?

During initial zeroing at 100 yards with Remington Core-Lokt 150gr .308 Winchester ammunition, the rifle produced groups around 1.2 MOA. After adjustments and accounting for potential shooter error, the best shots grouped at approximately 0.5 MOA, with the overall group around 1.25 MOA.
