Just picked one up a couple weeks ago and called Derek to ask what ammo he liked. I picked up Hornady Match and Federal Gold with 175gr SMK. This thing loves the SMK 175. Shot multiple sub 1 inch groups at 200 yards just using factory ammo. Great starting point for reloading. Really pleased with this system.
When I was stationed at the Rock Island Arsenal in the late 1980’s I had the opportunity to sign for one of the initial production test rifles for use in a long range match. I was a member of the RIA Rifle & Pistol Team. At that time they had two of them there. On the top of each scope they were marked IPT 1, and IPT 2 in yellow paint. IPT 1 ended up on display in the John Browning Museum there. I used IPT 2 which was assigned to the Maintenance Operations Procedures Shop in Building 110. I also had the opportunity to meet Mike Rock around 1995. Mike made the first 180 barrels for Remington. They were cut rifled barrels. That was because Remington wasn’t set up yet to produce CHF barrels. All of those rifles were later returned to Remington for rebarreling. Still have a couple of photos of me and another Marine shooting it at the Milan Rifle Club a week before the match. I cleaned the 600 yard Any Rifle Any Sight Match with it.
I would get this in my feed now, my luck. Been searching for an m24 for decades but havent been able to find one at a decent price thats complete and unmolested.
Derek being its a beautiful "long-action" how difficult would it be to change it to 300 Winchester magnum, so fascinating! Am I in the correct understanding that all one would need to do is swap to a bolt with a larger bolt-face for the 300 win mag? Such a wonderful feature, I constantly hear people complain about not fitting their favorite hand-loads into short actions! Thanks hope to hear back
Changing to a 300 win would require having a new barrel fitted by a gunsmith and headspaced, in addition to a new bolt with a larger face installed. Cost to do the barrel would likely be about $800-$1200 installed, plus a few hundred for a bolt. Maybe worth it if you are changing caliber once but if you plan to go back and forth between 300 and 308, might as well get another rifle, for the cost. - Derek
Nice system indeed. I would have loved to see additional groups not just four samples at various ranges as statistically speaking that is not enough sampling. I tested a soviet SVD 25 years ago in Canada and after 20 groups of 5 shots samples one group of 5 shot (three shots is another point all-together) one group was 7/8" large and that is the group the owner of the rifle was presenting during sale. All others were around 1.5" give or take 0.4". The Remington SWS system has lots of potential.
I’d like to pit this against my fn special police which is very similar with a mod70 action…it will keep em in a quarter sized hole also..but 168gmm where it’s 1:12 4 groove rifling…175s I’d don’t spin enough I guess…110s shoot as good as 168s also over 3500fps
Is that the same as the 11.5 r mil spec rifle made by rem . I have one and it has a very long chamber which requires you to seat bullets very long 2.980 . The only difference I see is the long action. Great shooting rifle but only single feed for best accuracy. Just but a tikka from your company. Great rifle , Thanks chip
This is not the same rifle as that. Commercial rifles need to be able to feed many types of bullets with various ogives and seat depths so their chambers are reamed to accommodate. While I dont have an OAL max to touch the lands, my guess is it will be less and you will be able to find a good load for it that fits and feeds. Many will choose a bullet that is ok with being jumped like Berger Hybrids, or other Tangent Ogive bullets. Good luck with the Tikka! Those shoot great as well. -Derek
Was in really hard debate between this rifle and the SAKO TRG 22 in 6.5cm. Went for the TRG, but I still want this M24 so bad! Seeing they cannot be backordered, I shouldn't grabbed this rifle as it was a limited run. TRG's will always be around. DAMN!!!!
Redfield Olympic sights. They are or were commercial sights used for NRA HIGHPOWER competition. The front sight came with interchangeable inserts. The rear had a fixed round appeture They were not built tactical tuff. I can’t imagine using them in combat. It would be nice from a collectors point of view to buy one of these and then all the collateral gear so you could have the complete sniper weapons system.

@@stevewilson4514 I was wondering if it was ever used in combat if the need occured? Unless they just happen to have a spare scope when the main scope breaks while on the field. All I know those iron sights would more likely be used for long range competition.

The M24 comes with the MOUNT for a barrel mounted sight. It's not a sight itself. You could remove it if you really wanted to, but will likely take some custom modification to do so.
Why the fuck would you want to? Why are you looking at this rifle if all you want to do is strip it down and make it just a basic rem 700? This is a bloody iconic rifle. If you are going to buy it, leave it alone.
M24 has an exquisite design, it's so beautiful and satisfying.
That is a beautiful rifle

Would you recommend it? Seems a bit pricey but maybe because it’s a military gun.
@@moistexistence3090 Not really pricey when you look at other precision rifles and especially precision rifle clones.

That is a beast of a bolt action. Makes my Tikka look subordinate lol. I’d love an M24 or Kar98k. 😁
Tikka has smoother action and is very accurate.
This a dream rifle of mine but I doubt ill ever own one.
Never say never
For the right price I know one for sale
A great rifle for supplemental multiroles

Wait a minute. Does M24 has attachable magazine, don't it?
what type of rear iron sights will this M24 accept? Like for possible back up sights in case the scope breaks.
You really don't have a clue do you...
You would have to join the Army to get one.
