Is there any difference between the 700 Mountain Rifle actions and the usual 700 SPS action? I checked Remington's website and they don't really go into too much detail. Thanks, Dan | ||

The only difference in the "mountain rifle" and the normal 700 is the barrel profile. Typical Rem700's have a muzzle diameter of around 0.660" the mountain rifle barrels are typically 0.550". And of course the barrel inletting in the stock is different. AllanD If I provoke you into thinking then I've done my good deed for the day!

Thanks Allan. I figured there was no difference but wasn't sure if they were a little slicker than the average SPS or other 700s. -Dan | |||

No, why should they be? Unless you are lucky enough to stumble across one of the Kevlar stocked custom shop rifles.... AllanD If I provoke you into thinking then I've done my good deed for the day!

The actions are the same, but the metal finishes are very different. The MTN rifles have a fine bead blast finish vs the rougher texture of the SPS models. You really have to see the two side by side to fully appreciate the differences. | |||
