REMINGTON ~ Model 700 Police PSS ~ 308 Win

Description:
Developed in the mid to late 1980's with primary input by John Rogers and Bill Forson, the PSS rifle was meant to carry on and capitalize on the legacy of the M40/M40A1 military sniper rifles. Designed primarily as a law enforcement tool, though available to the general public, the PSS rifle has been adopted by a large number of police departments around the country.The standard PSS rifle sports a regular production, hammer-forged, 26-inch barrel of what might be termed medium-heavy. Diameter of the chrome-moly barrel at the muzzle is .830 inch. The muzzle features a concave crown to protect the all-important lands and grooves from damage. This also promotes concentricity if done right, which allows the escaping gases to leave the muzzle evenly thus avoiding "tipping" of the bullet's base, which can lead to flyers.According to Linda Powell at Remington's Public Relations Office, each PSS rifle is tested at the factory before it is shipped and must meet the minimum standard of five shots in one inch at 100 yards, or minute of angle (MOA). Such a requirement is considered more than adequate for a police sniper weapon as it has been established that most shots taken by police snipers are taken at under 100 yards. That standard is met with factory ammunition by the way. Federal Match 168-grain load shoots between one-half to three-quarters minute of angle in my PSS. Handloads might be a little better on good days but most factory ammo is uniformly excellent today, especially the match variety. .308 Winchester
