The affordable model 700 SPS (special purpose synthetic) rifle was taken and shortened, both the stock and the barrel to provide young hunters and smaller stature adults with a better fitting and easier handling version of our legendary model 700. Each model 700 SPS youth is fitted with a new, ergonomically designed synthetic stock featuring the R3 recoil pad, swivel studs, and a 12 3/8-inch length of pull (one inch shorter than standard model 700 rifles). The hammer forged barrel comes without sights and drilled and tapped for scope mounts.
