The Remington Model 700PSS rifle is a "Police Sharp Shooter" (hence the name) variant of the Model 700 that Remington marketed to both Law Enforcement and Military Customers. It is used widely by Police SWAT units and Military sharp shooters. The most common variants of this rifle are chambered in .308 NATO or .300 Win Mag. The Army uses versions of this rifle that have the long action of the .300 Win Mag, but are barreled for the .308 cartridge. Note that there is NO SUCH THING as a "Remington PSS700", despite the constant repetition of this mistake on imfdb pages. The design is called the "Remington Model 700PSS". | The Remington Model 700PSS rifle is a "Police Sharp Shooter" (hence the name) variant of the Model 700 that Remington marketed to both Law Enforcement and Military Customers.
