The Remington 700 SPS in .243 Winchester serves dual duty as a varmint and light-game hunting rifle, driving 55-grain varmint loads at 3910 fps and 100-grain deer loads at 2960 fps from the 24-inch barrel. The SPS's synthetic stock and moderate weight make it an excellent youth first rifle or a dedicated varmint rig for hunters who target prairie dogs and coyotes between big-game seasons. The 700 action's accuracy extracts the full potential of the .243 Win cartridge.
