Description
Picture this: you’re glassing a ridgeline at 400 yards, the wind is a steady 10 mph from the west, and you need a single, decisive shot. You need a rifle built for that moment—a purpose-driven tool that bridges the gap between raw power and practical precision. That’s the mission of the Remington Model 700 SPS Special Purpose 7mm Rem Mag, 26″ Barrel Matte Blue Finish Synthetic Stock 3 Round Left Hand. It’s a left-handed, long-range hunting rifle engineered for power and accuracy in demanding field conditions, offering a no-frills platform ready for serious work right out of the box.
Built on the legendary Remington 700 action—a benchmark for reliability and accuracy—this SPS variant is configured for the southpaw shooter. The 26-inch barrel, chambered in the flat-shooting 7mm Remington Magnum, gives high-velocity rounds the room they need to achieve maximum ballistic performance. That extra barrel length translates directly to higher muzzle velocity, which means a flatter trajectory and more retained energy downrange. The matte blue finish isn’t for show; it’s a durable, non-reflective surface that won’t give away your position with a glint of sunlight. At a total weight around 7.5 lbs, it balances carry-ability with the stability needed for a steady hold.
The synthetic stock is where the “Special Purpose” intent shines. It’s tough, weather-resistant, and impervious to the moisture and temperature swings that can warp wood. The design includes textured gripping surfaces for control in wet or cold conditions. Here’s the thing—this is a rifle meant to be used, not coddled. It’s a platform you can build on, with the standard 700 action being famously compatible with a vast aftermarket of chassis systems, triggers from brands like Timney, and optics bases from manufacturers like Warne or Leupold. The three-round internal magazine keeps the profile sleek for carrying in rough terrain.
For the price of $590.50, you’re investing in a proven, capable action dressed in purely functional components. It’s a rifle that prioritizes performance over polish, giving you a serious foundation for long-range hunting or precision shooting without a luxury markup. Available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, this left-hand configuration ensures a natural, safe operation for dominant left-eye shooters, a detail often overlooked in a right-handed world.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the barrel free-floated on this SPS model?
A: Typically, yes. The Remington 700 SPS usually features a free-floated barrel, where the barrel does not contact the stock along its length. This improves accuracy by eliminating inconsistent pressure points that can shift point of impact.
Q: Can a right-handed person safely shoot this left-handed rifle?
A: While possible, it’s not recommended for regular use. The bolt handle and ejection port are on the left side, making operation awkward and potentially directing ejected brass across the shooter’s body. It’s designed specifically for left-handed shooters.
Q: What type of scope base does this rifle use?
A: The Remington 700 uses a standardized mounting pattern. It is drilled and tapped for a Remington 700 short action scope base (note: 7mm Rem Mag is a long-action cartridge, but the 700 short action is used for certain magnum calibers—confirm base fitment for 7mm Rem Mag). Popular brands like Warne, Leupold, and EGW make compatible bases.
If you’re a left-handed shooter demanding a powerful, field-ready rifle for Missouri’s whitetail woods or western plains, this Model 700 SPS provides a proven foundation. See full details and availability on our site.
