Dreams really do come true!
With the convergence of circumstances, I have finally been able to purchase a Remington 700P (Police) in .308 Win, one of my dream guns. Those converged forces being a decent bonus check, a local dealer's sale and a loving wife's approval. I have wanted a 700P since it was called the 700PSS (Police Sharp Shooter). This is the version of the Remington 700 that would turn me into a covetous sinner, in every movie or TV show that showed a LEO or military sharpshooter taking aim at a foe.
Why is the Remington 700 Police more of a dream rifle than other 700's or other brands? The Remington 700P adds features to the base 700 that should cost MUCH more than it does, but Remington has kept the cost down to make it affordable to LE agencies.
Features like:
Don't ask what glass I'm using... OK! Fine! I'm using a Center Point 4x16x40 until I can afford a Kahles Helia CL scope... More dreams.
I'll post some range results soon.
Sometimes, life really is but a dream...

Features like:
- Barrel: A Heavy parkerized 26" bull-barrel with a 1 in 12 twist
- Stock: A H-S Precision stock reinforced with Du Pont Kevlar and fiberglass
- Bedding: The stock is laid up around an aircraft-grade aluminum bedding block that runs up the entire length of the receiver
- Trigger: Remington's best 40-X trigger system (Not all 700P's or PSS's come with this trigger system)
